<p>I took the SAT twice, the first time I got a 1690 (570 R 520 M 600 W), I'll be getting the results for the second time back April 1, but I think I did a lot better. The first time I took it I didn't prepare at all and then I took a course with the Princeton Review so I'm hoping for a decent improvement.</p>
<p>My GPA is probably my weakest point, I had something like an 84/85 unweighted at the end of sophomore year, which translated to a 88/89 weighted. I think it will come up a little bit by the end of this year but probably won't get higher than a 90.</p>

Homework Help Center volunteer program- around 30 service hours for this year, will probably participate again next year and get another 30, and definitely do some additional community service in the mean time. This is a selective program as well.
Over the summer I will be volunteering at my local assemblyman's office, so I'm hoping that will set me apart a little bit.</p>
<p>Hopefully I'll get a job within the next few months and be able to add that to my resume as well.
I know I can get two very good recommendations from teachers as well.</p>
<p>Right now I'm thinking about going for Journalism, probably with a minor/double major in something more practical. </p>
<p>Schools I'm looking into:
Rutgers
TCNJ
Rider
Seton Hall
Quinnipiac
Temple
UConn
Drexel
St. Joseph's U
Loyola Maryland
and American for the big stretch.</p>
<p>Anyone have any opinions/ advice? Suggestions of other schools would be greatly appreciated!
I'm a white female from New Jersey, also.</p>
