<p>Alright do I stand a chance of getting in? </p>
<p>GPA as of the end of sophomore year: 3.1</p>
<p>I have like a 3.3 or 3.4 right now though, so hopefully that will boost it a little bit; I’m a HS junior right now. </p>

<p>I also do lots of community service, about 300 hours a year in my local hospital, teaching dance lessons at a Boys and Girls Club, constructing a children’s program at a public library, and I even assistant taught a kindergarten class for a month at a charter school (when it didn’t conflict with my school schedule). I also work over the summer as a lifeguard, and am fully certified in lifeguarding/CPR/ AED/ First aid.
I also play sports. Soccer, Lacrosse, and I swim. </p>
<p>Also, I’m involved in lots of clubs. Key Club, students in cultural awareness, and the school’s environmental club. </p>
<p>I’m thinking about taking Brown University’s leadership workshop over the summer, to increase my chances of getting into a better college. I got a letter from them a few months ago, and would really like to do this if I can afford it. </p>
<p>Also, I am of an ethnic and religious minority.</p>
<p>I know my GPA kind of sucks right now, but do you think I stand a chance? I’m at one of the most competitive independent private schools in my state right now, and it has a reputation for being the most academically challenging school in the state. So do you think BU would have some form of sympathy for my crappy GPA? </p>
<p>Thanks</p>
