<p>So I've been thinking about going to Depaul University and I just don't really know if I'll get accepted..
During Freshman year I would consider my self depressed during that year cause all I could think about was my dad who passed away and that I had no on to look up too so I just did very horrible during Freshman year. (2.0 GPA)</p>

<p>Sophomore year I was slightly getting academically better in school but not just top notch. But second semester I got into honor rolls (2.8) GPA</p>

<p>Junior year: I feel so much comfortable academically I have 4 A's right not and 2 B'S and 1 C. (Current GPA (3.3))</p>

<p>Sports: I did Basketball Freshman and Sophomore year. And this year I did cross country and later in the spring Im going to do track, and Ill do the same for senior year.</p>

<p>Job: I work at a tutoring center called Kumon where I tutor kids and teenagers math and reading.</p>

<p>Volunteer: I'm going to start volunteering in the library and a nursing home</p>

<p>ACT Score: I got an 18 on the practice but I'll admit I didn't even try because I wasn't in the right mood set, but I am taking programs to raise my ACT score.</p>

<p>And during senior year I want to take 3 AP classes (AP Econ, AP Chem, and AP Psychology) and I might also be on German Honors because I've maintained an A throughout this semester.</p>

<p>Thanks so much.</p>

You absolutely have to get your ACT score up, or try taking the SAT. Some people do better on one over the other.

I know someone with a 23 ACT score who didn’t get in. You should definitely try to get that up. Maybe try the SAT if the time limit for the ACT is too short for you.

Colleges love to see your GPA go up over the years, so I think you have that going for you. And if you explain what you did here on the application, I think it will help. AP classes might also help as long as you do well in them.

It’s worth a shot! Although I think it’d help to be more involved I think it’s really cool that you tutor, and I think DePaul will recognize that too. :slight_smile:
