<p>I'm a senior applying to college now from New Jersey. I really wanna go to UMD. I think it's my #1. I have a GPA of about 4.2 weighted and 3.4 unweighted, an 1830 SAT with 570 R 610 M and 650 W (which hopefully will be at least a 1900 when I take it again on October 1), and a superscore ACT of 28 (26 first time and 27 second time). My extracurricular activities are:
9th grade- Swim Team, Newspaper, and did community service at friend's mom's drama festival summer after
10th grade- Environmental Club, Newspaper, and worked at local synagogue
11th grade- Mentor for freshmen, Assistant secretary of Spanish Club, Environmental Club, Co-editor for Entertainment section of Newspaper, Spanish Honor Society, Science Honor Society, National Honor Society, and worked as camp counselor that summer (going into 11th grade) [Really kicked it up that year haha]
12th grade (now)- Mentor for freshmen, Co-Vice President of Spanish Club, Environmental Club, Editor for Entertainment section of Newspaper, Spanish Honor Society, National Honor Society, worked as a camp counselor this summer going into 12th grade, and now work at local community center at an after-school program with kids.</p>
<p>I want to major in journalism and minor probably in Spanish. I've taken all honors and some APs throughout high school (3 APs last year and 4 this year: Environmental Science, English Language, and Spanish last year and Stats, English Lit, US Gov & Politics, and Psychology this year). I took a tour at UMD in April, which I heard helps your application since it shows initiative or whatever. Please chance me! Thanks :)</p>
