<p>I'm a white male who goes to a very competitive High School in N. California.
GPA: 3.6 W, 3.4 UW</p>

<p>AP/H classes: AP GOV, AP ECON, AP CALC, APUSH, AP STATS, (H) French 7-8.</p>

<p>SAT: 1700, plan on getting over 28 on the ACT. (Pretty confident about taking the ACT)
taking the history, literature and math II SAT II's in October; plan on getting over 700 in two categories.</p>

<p>clubs: MUN, School Choir</p>

<p>sports: football, soccer (varsity for 3 years, varsity captain for 2 years), track</p>

<p>ec: Internship at local GPS tracking device business, handled phone calls, inventory checks, etc. (500+ hours) also a public defenders office in the nearby city (100+ hours).</p>

<p>I believe that my grades and SAT score do not really do me any justification in my level of education. Saying that, I'm pretty confident that my essay will be above average and be deep in meaning. I will also have three decent letters of recommendation.</p>

<p>I'm the first generation going to college. I do not need any financial aid.
Colleges:
UCSC
UCI
UCSB
Boston U.
UMass
Syracuse
Gonzaga</p>

<p>Showed a downward trend in my junior year, mostly due to emotional stress and personal issues. Now, in my senior year, I have had a tremendous leap in grades, having over a 4.25 at the moment (Not that it really matters, anymore, right?).</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Where were you able to get in? And yes, as of Senior year, I’m taking AP ECON, AP GOV, AP STATS, and H French 7-8. If I were to keep up my grades this semester, would it be possible to write a letter of appeal to the college of my choosing, pointing out my major improvement of my junior and senior years?</p>

<p>Bump? One person?</p>

<p>Forgot to mention that I’ll probably apply with intentions to major in poli sci or some field of sociology.</p>
