I’m currently a junior at a rigorous bay area school that is well known by colleges for its stress and academic achievements.
Demographics: Female Asian American
GPA: 3.1
PSAT: 1450
SAT: 1410
SAT 2: (Haven’t taken yet) Physics and Math 2.
AP Tests: (Haven’t taken yet) AP Physics 1, AP Stats, AP Macroeconomics
EC (yrs including senior year): yearbook as a photographer (3 years), Photography club President (3), Food Science club PR (2), Girls Empowerment Club PR/Event Coordinator (2), Track and Field Hurdler (5 yrs), Volunteering club member (2), Volunteering at public library (4), and Public (not school) radio show (2). I am looking at applying to USCs, UCs, Rutgers, San Francisco State, Boston University, and possibly PACE.
I know my GPA is really weak but it got dragged down by my world language class as I got only Cs there while managing good As and Bs in the rest. Something important to note is that I was once caught for plagiarizing in my sophomore year on a paper that went on my record, how will this affect me?
I hope to study marketing, architecture, or psych. NYU is my dream college and I would apply there for their Arts and Science school with a major in “Urban Design and Architecture” or with a minor in business studies (connected with Stern School but applies to Arts and Science College).
