<p>I want to major in Journalism</p>

<p>and i'm African American if that counts for anything.</p>

<p>Thanks for any help that you might be able to give! ^_^</p>

<p>I think you are most likely in if your grades stay where they are, if you can crank your SAT scores up a bit you will definitely get in.</p>

<p>Okay, Thank you very much! :slight_smile:
But will the fact that my GPA is weighted hurt me? My school does not report UW so does it matter?</p>

<p>They will use what the school sends them. Plus you have a very rigorous class schedule, and a really nice set of extracurriculars.</p>

<p>Not sure if being AA gives an explicit boost (like an affirmative-action kind of thing) but it’s never bad to be an URM when it comes to college.</p>

<p>Make sure you apply EA, that seems to maximize chances for merit scholarships.</p>

Okay,
Thank you!! ^__^</p>

<p>anybody else?</p>
