<p>I'm a Junior at a tiny parochial school in Minnesota. My weighted GPA is ~3.9 (my school doesn't really do unweighted) and I am second in my class of thirty. (Yes, my class consists of thirty kids. I don't want to talk about it.)
Because of its size, my school doesn't offer any APs. I'm taking the hardest classes available to me (two Honors English classes), and I will have received college credits in Intro to Public Speaking and Calculus through the University of Minnesota before I graduate. There is also an option of taking an elective class through an outside university for credit, but if I do so, my class rank will be taken out due to my school's policy.
I'm involved in a plethora of activities, but I haven't cured cancer or anything:
-Speech Captain Junior & (will be) Senior Years, 4 years participation and at least 1 year State Tournament participation
-5-time letter winner in soccer
-Knowledge Bowl (3 years)
-Art Council (possible leadership as a senior)
-Spanish Club (possible leadership as a senior)
-Work about 10-15 hours/week as a waitress
-Student Council (Freshman Class President, Sophomore/Junior Class Rep, possible leadership as a senior)
-Drama (4 years, lead role as a freshman)
-Prom Committee
-Altar Server
-40 hours community service/school year</p>
<p>I just received an ACT score of 32 (33E, 28M, 34R, 31S). This should be up to a 33-34 in April with my English up to a 34-35 and my Math to a 30-31. I got a 9W.</p>
<p>My intended major would be Journalism, though I would be interesting in double majoring with Political Science.</p>
<p>What are my chances for getting into New York University, Northeastern, and Boston University? NYU is my top choice, but I am apprehensive to apply ED next year because of the historically terrible financial aid. I would apply EA to Northeastern if that makes a difference. I am also applying to the University of Minnesota and Purdue for sure.</p>
<p>Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it! :)</p>
