<p>My ACT composite was a 30 and I got a 9 on my essay. I am taking the SAT this weekend. My grades are fairly good, about a 3.5 GPA. I am currently taking AP History as a junior and will be taking AP studio art, AP European History, and AP Psych senior year. Other than PreCalc, the rest of my classes are honors.</p>
<p>I traveled last summer to Europe, I do volunteer work with local elementary schools very often (100+ hours at this point), and I am a member of the High School's Tennis and Track teams, though I don't plan on pursuing sports in secondary education. I've had a hard time finding a job but I do plan on being employed by senior year. I am currently undecided about my major but leaning towards history or pre law.</p>
<p>However, I am white, female, and fairly affluent. Although my father is disabled, our income is upper class.</p>
<p>I loved Syracuse when I visited last (my father's an alumni) and my cousin adores NYU. UPitt is another school I have heard nothing but good things about. Boston University has everything I like. I am having a hard time finding any other urban schools on the east coast I like, so if you know some, please pass it along!</p>
