<p>I'll be a Senior in High School next year.
I'll be the first generation in my family to go to a university.
Also, my mom makes less than $50,000/yr, and I'm Hispanic. I live with a single parent.</p>
<p>My GPA right wit now stands at a 3.0, and though I did not take the most advanced courses in High School Freshman&Sophomore year, I really tried to work my way up last year and I will again next year.
A big reason behind my GPA was also that I was diagnosed with depression. That took its toll on my grades.
I did not take the ACT/SAT yet, but I'm planning to.
Also, I'm on the Big Sister program now that I'm a senior. I was in choir for three years, and also I'm on the academic team.</p>
<p>Next year I'm planning to take: Honors Arizona Government/Economics, English 4, Algebra 2, Anatomy, Psychology, and probably two other double-credit courses. I'm still thinking of what they'll be, since they are crucial and the last two courses I'll be able to take, besides the ones that I just said. </p>
<p>*I don't have a declared major.</p>
<p>I don't wanna go to a state university( I live in Arizona, and all three of them are easy to get into and anybody can go to them.)
I was thinking more something like, NYU, CMU, Duke, Vanderbilt.
I know with my GPA it's not a whole lot. But maybe i'll be considered with my background.
Thanks guys!
