<p>I took the SAT twice, the first time I got a 1090/1690 (570 R 520 M 600 W), the second time I got 1240/1840 (670 R 570 M 600 W). I'll probably take the test a third time to see if that will help me get some scholarship money, and I'm going to take the ACT as well.</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>I want to major in Journalism and probably minor in Political Science. I'm a white female from NJ, if that makes any difference.</p>
<p>Anyone have any opinions/ advice? I don't want to say Temple is my first choice because I feel like it's too early to say that but it's pretty high up on my list.</p>
<p>Thank you in advance!</p>
