<p>Colleges Im Looking at:
University of Vermont

Quinnipiac University
University of Connecticut
John Jay School of Criminal Justice ( dont know if this is a good college..i know 3 languages so i want to be a cop/agent)</p>

<p>I want to major in Criminal Justice but i heard thats a worthless major ( i wanna be a cop/investigator), Sports Management, or Dentistry ( which i heard is extremely difficult) </p>

<p>Also, quick question: Which prep book is good for SAT Prep, because some concepts from the math section in the Bluebook I forgot two years ago and I need some practice.</p>

<p>Thanks- post your link so i can chance you!</p>

<p>Despite a low GPA, you have several attractive points on your application:

  1. Varsity Hockey, 4 years (you must be really good at the sport dude)
  2. 1st in your family to go to college
  3. You know three languages (fluently? Which three? In any case, really awesome)</p>

<p>Take a lot of practice exams for the SATI from CollegeBoard. That’s how I prepared.</p>

<p>Good luck, and I think you’re a match for your schools. Just get a higher SATI score and you’re set =)</p>

<p>I know polish and english fluently, but not spanish. Just studying AP next year as a senior</p>

<p>bumpppppppppppppppppp</p>

<p>If you could just get your GPA up a bit, it looks like ur in good shape :)</p>

<p>Im using the official SAT study guide by the collegeboard. You can get it at any bookstore. Its so helpfull.</p>

<p>Could you help me out ?</p>
