<p>^Um... well I already knew that it wouldn't help me... O_o
I included that information so that people who CHANCE me could get a more accurate idea of my high school transcript.</p>
<p>But, thanks for stating the obvious... I guess.</p>
<p>Volunteering for 30 mins a week? Maybe you shouldn't add that extra time description in your application. I mean you sit down, say "Hola, amigo. adios!" and there goes 30 mins. Not sure how competitive your hs is, or the rigor of your classes...but a 3.65 isn't exactly amazing. I think the extracurricular will be a tremendous boost to your application though, since (unlike many other applicants) you don't have a whole lot, but it seems like you're dedicated to them at least. </p>
<p>Also, be nice to people who even BOTHER to reply to your question, if you knew something was already obvious than why'd you even bother asking for opinions?</p>
<p>^Sorry if I seemed rude, but I noticed that all his recent comments on people's threads were rather belittling. I wasn't asking for opinions on the fact that my grades showed a downwards trend. I was asking for what people thought on my chances of getting into JHU, but his comment, that a downward trend won't help me, was obvious (in my opinion at least).</p>
<p>But thank you for posting a helpful comment. :] I never realized that, but I will try to see if I can go to the elementary more than once a week (it can only be 30 minutes a day because it is a program run by our district) or not include the time frame on my applications. Also, I intern after school for several hours a week, which may make it difficult to tutor on more days.</p>
