<p>I just finished my freshman year of high school and going into sophomore year. I'm half black and half Hispanic male. My weighted GPA was a 4.07, with a grade % of 91.6, so the unweighted GPA is about 3.7. I'm in all honors classes and taking AP Bio as a sophomore. I aspire to be a broadcast journalist, preferably sports. I finished the year with all A's and 1 B+ in Science. I recently the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) Good Citizenship Award. I live in Simsbury, CT and attend the Simsbury High. The school is ranked 6th I'm the state, so it's pretty competitive and difficult. I'm currently involved as a helper at the local summer academy for elementary school kids, as a volunteer for the local food pantry, and as a camera person and director for the local TV program. I'm class secretary for student council and plan to be for all of high school. I'm also a member of the school newspaper and will be in the FBLA for the next three years. In my last two years of high school, I will most likely be a part of the Honors Society and the Business Honors Society. As for sports, I do cross country, basketball/indoor track (unsure on which I will do), and outdoor track. I plan to complete 300 volunteer hours by the time of applying for college. I know it might be a little early, but NU has been my dream school for a while, especially with it being the best journalism school and near Chicago.</p>
<p>I really don't want anyone to tell me to look t my other options, because I have 6 other schools I'm seriously considering. I just want to know my chances at the school as of this time. I'm also open for recommendation to raise my chances there. Please help</p>
