<li>African-American </li>
<li>Cumulative Average/GPA: 94.47/3.8</li>
<li>Class Rank: Top 10% (need to double-check with guidance counselor)</li>
<li>ACT: 20 (I know this is very low, plan on retaking twice. I need at least 27)</li>
<li>SAT: 1480 (I know this is very low too, may retake or just focus on ACT)</li>
<li>APs/Honors: (My school doesn't offer any of these courses)</li>
<li>8 absences and 0 latenesses (9th - 11th grade, if anyone cares) </li>
</ul>

<p>Activities:
- Internship in the pre-college office at school (90hrs)
- Co-Founder/Organizer of the Music Club
- Senior Representative of the Student Council (a.k.a. student government)
- Guitar (2yrs)
- Junior Honors Society (applying in september)
- Volunteering at the Hudson Guild (aiming for 100hrs this summer)
- Introduction to Business (CollegeNow, applying in august)

<p>Schools of Interest (so far):
- Penn State: University Park (Current Top Choice)
- Penn State: Hazelton
- Purdue University
- Michigan State
- Oberlin College</p>

<p>If I don't get accepted into University Park as much first choice, I hope to participate in the 2+2 plan and complete 2 years at Hazleton. I understand that Penn State considers the GPA, essay and activities as 2/3 of the admission and SAT/ACT as 1/3. Any suggestions in terms of things I should do to boost my chances?</p>

<p>Thanks, I’m definitely boosting my ACT score. That’s absolutely essential!</p>

<p>If you get your ACT up to at least 27, or your SAT to at least 1850, you have a fair shot at getting in to all of them (as in they are low matches or ins). Your GPA shouldn’t hinder you; your URM status will help you a lot (approximately +200 SAT pts according to Princeton), so the only thing you really need to push is your standardized scores. Good luck!
