<p>Took all honors courses throughout junior and senior high and maintained mostly As with a few Bs, then in 11th and 12th dropped to regular math+science.</p>

<p>Major is undetermined as of yet, most likely english, philosophy, or political science (I’ve wanted to go to law school since I was young)</p>

<p>From junior to senior year I volunteered throughout at a public interest law center which works to better the public education system in Pennsylvania.</p>

<p>Writing has always been my strong suit and I’m confident in my essay.</p>

<p>Your numbers are promising, and if you have the ECs and essay to match them, you stand a very good chance. (: Good luck!</p>

<p>Alright well that’s reassuring, I thought I was more on the border. I have an upwards trend but I was afraid my gpa was still too low. Thanks :)</p>

<p>i had a 3.66 with a 1730 on sats and 2 aps senior year, some voulenteer work, 2 sports all 4 years, band/marching band all 4 years, 3-4 clubs, babysitting as a job and i was wait listed and later accepted. I was also confident that I would get in with my grades and extracurriculars, but I’m from NJ and 1/3 of this years class is from NJ so there were probably a lot of people like me. But I’m going there now! Hope this helps. </p>

<p>Dont get yourself set on one particular school. I’m happy I kept an open mind through the whole process. Good Luck!</p>
