Hello,
I was wondering if someone can chance me for University of Miami ED1. My grades are a little low (84.8 GPA), but I do go to a competitive Jesuit college prep school. 1100 on New SAT. With my extracurriculars
-I am a Brazilian jiu jitsu blue belt and train 10 hours a week.
-My big hook is that I founded a non-profit organization that has raised over $20,000 and we started a scholarship at our local community college, donated to local causes.
With my non-profit ventures I was named Youth Philantropist of the year by association of fundraising professionals (Fall 2016)
-I am the president of the business club at my school.
- My reccomendations should be great. The president of my school (a Jesuit that used to work at Gtown) wrote my letters.
- My essay was about a failed business venture I tried to embark upon as a sophomore in HS, how I failed, and what I learned for it.
- I reached out to the admissions representative for my region and expressed my interest for UM.
