<p>I plan on applying to: William and Mary, University of Richmond, Villanova, The College of New Jersey, Boston College, Lehigh, Marist, Quinnipiac, and Scranton (And maybe Princeton- I know it's a really far reach right now with my SATs but it's somewhere I've always wanted to go to)</p>

Major: Psychology
GPA: 3.8 (out of 4.0, my school doesn't weight, since we have all honors classes)

<p>I guess for my essay I plan on talking about how growing up close with a cousin with severe disabilities and another cousin with behavioral issues has made me interested in psychology and has helped me grow as a person.</p>

<p>I think I'm going to ask my teacher/advisor of Chorus for a letter of rec because she saw me start the club from the beginning and has seen how we have progressed under my leadership, stuff like that.</p>

<p>Thank you so much for reading this, I really appreciate your advice</p>

<p>You will for sure get into TCNJ. So don’t bother wasting time and money applying to other schools. Go to TCNJ. The psychology department is awesome. Make sure you apply to Honors Psychology. You will practically get into any grad school afterwards if your GPA is over 3.5. Cheers</p>

<p>I believe that the focus and dedication you have shown to multicultural club really defines your application.</p>
