<p>EC's</p>

<p>Technology Student Association
Temple U Pre-College Program
CCP Dual-Enrollment Program
Yearbook Club</p>

<p>I did a lot of EC's in middle school. Planning to do more in junior and senior year of high school.</p>

<p>5 time Honor Roll Student (9th and 10th grade) and I don't have a class rank because my school doesn't do that. </p>

<p>Planned for junior year:</p>

<p>AP Environmental Science
AP U.S. History
Taking the PSAT in October for National Merit Scholarship
ACT in Feb. 2014</p>

<p>I want to apply to University of Pennsylvania, Princeton University, Brown University, Temple University and Drexel University to major in Criminal Justice.</p>

<ol>
<li>Need test scores</li>
<li>Your GPA looks like it is way too low for Princeton, Penn, or Brown</li>
<li>If you stay on track from 10th grade (with decent ACT) I think you will get into Temple and maybe even Drexel</li>
</ol>

<p>If I was to bring up my GPA from 3.30 to 3.7+ in my Senior year will that increase my chances?</p>

You don’t put down middle school EC’s on your app, only high school ones.</p>

<p>

  1. They’ll still be reaches regardless
  2. Colleges do like to see an upward trend
  3. I don’t think it’s possible to bring it up that much (UW, at least)</p>

<p>Ivy League applicants usually have 3.9+ unweighted GPA.</p>

<p>Well, I went to Drexel’s admissions office and the admissions guy said I have a strong chance in getting into there even with the 2.3 GPA in 9th grade and 3.3 GPA in 10th grade. But I need to get a 3.65 or higher in 11&12th grade to be accepted. </p>

<p>So, now Drexel U is a low/high match. </p>

<p>Temple U is a high match.</p>

<p>The other schools are reaches.</p>
