<p>Community Service and Work Experience:
Campus Work Service: 30 hours last year, and I'll have 3 hours a week this coming year.
I will be tutoring English and literature in summer school this July at my school (150 hours)
And I will have at least 50 additional hours before graduation.
Worked as a staff writer for the teen section of my local newspaper (not a major newspaper, but widely circulated) for 1 year, published several articles there.</p>
<p>No major awards yet (honor roll and the like, some other minor things, one music scholarship).</p>
<p>I'm hoping for slightly higher grades this year (fewer B's) and good SAT and ACT scores. Can anybody give me some suggestions of schools in the East Coast area that might be a good match for me based on how I'm doing now? I'm not a legacy anywhere (my parents are both U of I alumni, and I don't want to go there).</p>
<p>I would REALLY appreciate it!</p>
