<p>It shows a variety of ECs, not just academics. oo. and I thought this was a college discussion page... You could've been a little more helpful.
seriously!
Sorry if I'm coming off as rude, but I'm just returning the favor sweetie.</p>
<p>I would definitely retake the SAT in the fall to boost up your math and finish the year strong to help your GPA. Your being black should also give you a advantage for admission.</p>
<p>Okay abbygwhatever, get off your mother's computer and go get a juice box. I think it's nap time now.
Seriously, what are you, twelve?
And thank you MRoCkEd, at least YOU understand.</p>
<p>Wow you look like such a fool right now "go get a juice box." You are pathetic! I will no longer waste my time typing to you. By the way I already got into Fordham your the one asking for opinions! Bye LOOSER!</p>
<p>mham, you have things going for you. Your courseload is heavy, and your ec's are good and hosws balance, and your volunteer work is commendable. I've seen the football managers at our school, and those girls are tough. Heat, rain, mud, cold, unappreciative players, carrying equipment and props, etc.,.... man, those students are unsung, unappreciated contributors to the school and they deserve more. :) The grading system in your school might be weighing down your gpa, considering that you're in honor roll. You should make sure your guidance counselor or teacher recs say something about that, so that colleges don't see your gpa as just a number, but as a number when put in context against the school difficulty. I suggest prepping again and retaking the SAT to try for a higher score, or to try the ACT. But that's just my suggestion. Your CR score is pretty high, so if you can bump up that Math score a bit, then it would bump up your competitiveness too. For what it's worth, I think it's ok to put in your app that you won a beauty pageant. To me it shows a good measure of self-confidence to join those contests, and self-confidence is a plus. And there's really nothing wrong with having beauty and brains, is there? :) Good luck mham. I hope you get into Fordham, nice school, nice pick.</p>
