Do I have a shot??

[cwarnken]

<p>Intended Major: Civil Engineering (Structural)</p>

<p>I am a white male from Connecticut.
I have visited the campus and interviewed in Boston.</p>

<p>My GPA is very low: 3.45 (I had a horrible sophomore slump)
I am currently taking 3 APs and have a 4.1 GPA</p>

<p>My SATs are also very low: 660 Math, 560 Verbal, 520 Writing</p>

<p>I have a lot of very good extracarriculars:
I am a member of the Model UN team, an editor on the school paper, Ping Pong club (not sure if this helps), I have helped on numerous political campaigns, I have attended political events and award dinners, community service at an inner city soup kitchen, and I have played for the school baseball team since 9th grade.</p>

<p>I have a very good letter of recomendation and a very solid essay.</p>

<p>I know that it would be a real long shot, but does anyone think there is a shot at all?</p>

<p>Thanks Everyone!!</p>

<p>Admission to Viterbi Engineering is very competitive. When my son applied, there were 4,000 applicants for 400 spots.</p>

<p>Does anyone know how competitive the school of policy, planning, and development is? I put that down as my second choice major</p>
