<p>As a high school student I finished in the top 25% of my class at a large and pretty competitive high school.
I had a 3.4ish gpa with an 1210/1600SAT ( I went through some personal problems that I believe prevented me from living up to my potential)
I was president of my class three consecutive years, involved with a couple other clubs and a member of the national honor society.
I had a part time job, had extensive volunteer hours with school/community.
Great recomendations from school/church and was given a community service award by a local legislator at the end of senior year.</p>
<p>At a local community college (Top 15 CC in the country) I have raised my GPA to a 3.84 and was elected to serve on the executive board of the student government while being an active member of the Political Science Club. I work part-time and continue to volunteer.</p>
<p>So Haverford is without a doubt my dream school and Swarthmore is a close second....I would apply as a transfer and enter as a junior polysci major. </p>
<p>Do I have a shot? and anyone with some first hand info about Haverford or Swarthmore that is interesting would be greatly appreciated</p>
