<p>hey I'm a rising senior and I was wondering what my chances were for acceptance. EC achievments from my senior year are just things I've been elected/promised. I'm interested in journalism/creative writing/acting... preferrably journalism for SU:</p>

<p>GPA (unweighted): (I seperated the years to show improvment)
freshman: 2.5
sophomore: 3.5
junior: 3.8</p>

<p>(Weighted):
freshman: 2.5
sophomore: 3.6
junior: 4.0</p>

<p>SAT: M-550, CR- 570 (I'm raising it)</p>

<p>Extra curricular:</p>

<p>Copy editor of HS newspaper junior year</p>

<p>Editor in chief of HS newspaper senior year</p>

<p>Editor in chief of HS literary magazine junior and senior year</p>

<p>Lead role in 3 plays during junior and senior years (the breakfast club, rocky horror picture show, and la mantis religiosa) at local community theatre</p>

<p>supporting role in one school play freshman year (bye bye birdie)</p>

<p>Vice president of junior class</p>

<p>President of student body in my senior year</p>

<p>AP english outstanding achievement award junior year</p>

<p>Journalism/newspaper outstanding achievement award junior year</p>

<p>Winner of Youth Tour to Washington speech contest 2006</p>

<p>1-2 years of private guitar lessons (i don't know if that matters)</p>

<p>week long journalism camp at the University of Florida</p>

<p>I think there's more but you get the idea, just a lot of literary/theatre/ leadership type stuff</p>

<p>Hey im a rising senior too! I think that your freshmen Gpa (like mine) is kinda low. I had a 2.9 freshmen yr. but since then I've had in the mid 3's (3.45). I think that show your speed and improvement over the 3 yr period. You may want to raise your sat's a little bit to give yourself an edge. I had a 710m 540r the frist time i took it but i just took it again to raise my reading school like 2 days ago. You def. have a grreat chance. Syracuse is my first choice. What are you majoring in?</p>

<p>Oh yea. u have very strong EC's like me also. Keep it up. u have a great shot.</p>

<p>thanks for the positive feedback! ha. If I went to SU I would most likely major in journalism. you?</p>
