<li>UW GPA: 3.2 (plan on bringing that up with stellar first semester senior grades. I know what's at stake so I'll be more likely to rise to the challenge... finally.)</li>
<li>SAT: 2010 (CR: 690, M: 610, W: 710) (taking again in September)</li>
<li>Class Council Representative</li>
<li>Student Council President</li>
<li>E.R.A.S.E. Club Vice President (End Racism and Sexism Everywhere)</li>
<li>Writer for School Newspaper</li>

<li>1 Year of Football </li>

<p>I'm aware that my GPA may hurt me with some schools, though I've never had Ivy League, or even Duke/Emory type aspirations anyway...</p>
<p>So, recommend some schools on the East Coast preferably (such as Rutgers & Penn State), though I'm open to schools from all around the country if they'd be good fits for me. A good mix of attainable reaches, matches, and safeties would be most beneficial to me. </p>
<p>I'm planning to major in either psychology (to prepare me to get my Psy. D and then become a psychotherapist... or go to law school) or marketing (and then law school).</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
