<p>Hello, I am a junior in high school currently and really starting to get serious about looking for colleges.I live and Maryland and I currently go to a very good PRIVATE COLLEGE PREP CATHOLIC SCHOOL. We are well known throughout the state and have good academics. My cumulative GPA for freshman and sophomore year is 2.74 ( I really didn't try to my best ability). In Junior year thus far, I have about a 3.3 GPA for this year only (Not cumulative). I played 2 sports sophomore year and have I am in 2 clubs. I have yet to take the SAT but hope to get anywhere from 1600-1800. I also have had numerous jobs to keep me busy. COMMUNITY COLLEGE IS NOT AN OPTION.</p>
<p>I really didn't apply myself at all throughout high-school. That is obviously my biggest mistake thus far.</p>
<p>Some extra credentials that might help me are:
-Jobs (Lifeguard at pool, Cashier/Server at Snowball Stand)
-Took multiple Business Classes in HS (Good Grades in Them)
- Volunteer at Soup Kitchen (40 hours so far)
-Junior Prom Committee + Asian American Club (Junior Year)
- Outdoor Track+ Cross Country (Sophomore Year)</p>
<p>I feel as though the biggest thing that will impress colleges with myself is that I started an online Amazon/Ebay business. Currently, I have over $25,000 in sales and that is continuing to grow.</p>
<p>I am looking for a college in Southern California (LA Area). Since I will be living on campus at least freshman year I would prefer for it not to be a commuter campus.</p>
<p>Here is my list of preferences:
-Southern California (LA AREA)
-Somewhat close to the beach
-Good Business and/ or Engineering Program
-Non-Commuter Campus
-Good Campus life (including parties/greeklife)
-Any size is fine</p>
<p>Basically, Im looking for an OKAY (Doesn't have to be prestigious) Southern California College that I have a good chance to get into. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!</p>
<p>LMU is definately my top choice, it is perfect for all of my needs. Price is not an issue.</p>
<p>My list goes like this:
1) Loyola Marymount (LMU)
2) University of San Diego
3) University of Redlands
4) Chapman
5) Occidental
6) SDSU</p>
<p>Any other Match/Safety Schools would be appreciated.</p>
<p>I am looking for some Match Schools and Some Safety Schools. Thank you soo much! </p>
