<p>How am I looking when it comes to getting into Howard? I got a 1320 on my SAT but only a 13 on my ACT. My GPA is about 2.5. Not to much extra curricular activities, but I was in this program outside of school where I learned Chinese for the past 2 summers including a trip to China in June. I was also born and raised in DC. can anyone help me out.</p>
<p>And also I am about to start my essay. Any ideas on what I should put in it? Thanks.</p>
<p>BUMP</p>
<p>Come on guys</p>
<p>I take it you’re African American, correct?</p>
<p>And is your sat out of 2400 or 1600?</p>
<p>Yeah. </p>
<p>I think its 2400. I got a 470 on my reading and a 410 on the math.</p>
<p>Ok, well your test scores and gpa are a little low (you’re around the ~25th percentile)</p>
<p>But I mean, they admit on many other factors such as</p>
<p>Important admission factors:</p>
<pre><code>* Recommendations
</code></pre>
<p>Considered:</p>
<pre><code>* Alumni Relation
<hr>
<p>So, just work hard on the essay and try to get the most favorable recs</p>
<p>sorry i dont see it happening im not familiar with Howard but im assuming the fact that your black will not help here. you need to get higher test scores and more ECs unless your being recruited for a sport</p>
<p>Thanks for the help.</p>
<p>Even with great ECs and rec, your GPA and SATs cripple you. I don’t think you have a very good shot.</p>
<p>chance back?</p>
