<p>Applying (as a transfer) to:</p>

<p>NYU- Steinhardt or CAS
Fairleigh Dickinson
Rutgers
Fordham</p>

<p>Major: Communication Studies (actually double major- Journalism- at NYU)</p>

<p>Homeschooled w/ GED Nov. 2004 </p>

<p>Writing- 790
Soc. St- 800
Science- 570
Reading- 760

<p>Didn’t take the SATs, don’t need to as I will have an AA degree from my CC, which is ranked highest in the state (NJ).</p>

<p>Enrolled in local CC Jan. 2005, will graduate May 2006.</p>

<p>Current GPA 3.595, due to the fact that I got a C on an online accelerated summer Bio class. Can we say bad idea? At least I passed... :( </p>

<p>My school also does not give any plusses or minuses. So even though I got an 87 in Psychology, I got the same grade as a person who barely pulled an 80. </p>

<p>Taking 22 credits next semester to graduate in three semesters. </p>

<p>Classes this semester:
Honors World Lit: 1650-Present

Child Psychology
Religion and the Human Experience
Intro to Philosophy</p>

<p>Phi Theta Kappa (2-yer college honors society)
Deans List
Newspaper contributor (and possibly features editor next semester)
Student Aid in the History department
Stellar recommendations and essays </p>

<p>Interesting personal stuff:
Hand raised three orphaned kittens
Instead of working between the time I finished my high school work and started college, I took care of my ailing grandmother because my mother could not afford to (and didn’t want to) put her in a nursing home.</p>

<p>bump</p>

<p>Anyone?</p>

<p>So... the 59 people who looked at this just rolled their eyes and went on their way, right?</p>

<p>Is it worth it to mention the ballet lessons I've been taking since I could walk and the fenching classes I've just begun? Neither of which will be on a transcript, so are they useless?</p>

4

<p>Why aren't you putting down the ballet classes if you're advanced enough and it takes up some of your time?</p>

<p>You know, that's a good question. I have a friend who is an admissions officer at a school in NJ and he believes anything not on the transcript is bs. Of course, he's an ass... so that should be taken into consideration. </p>

<p>Whatever, I'll add it.</p>

<p>Any other thoughts from anybody?</p>
