<p>Rising sophomore at St. Joseph's University and I want to transfer to Fordham University [a fellow Jesuit university]. </p>
<p>Fall '07 semester: 3.4 with one W on my transcript because of medical leave [I explained that thoroughly in my essay]. </p>
<p>Spring '08 semeser: looks like a 3.2</p>
<p>Average of 3.3 with 27 credits</p>
<p>I also had a 3.0 in high school but took all honors courses and I think the weighted GPA was 3.9 or something. </p>
<p>SATs: 1170/1600 1770/2400 </p>
<p>High school extracurriculars:
-Theater (4 years): 10 plays total
-Chorus (2 years)</p>
<p>Talent:
-Singing
-Acting
-Writing</p>
<p>Community Service:
-First teen volunteer to work in the ER (summer after junior year of HS)
-Stayed in New Orleans for a week and with 11 other students & 3 HS teachers, we gutted 3 condos in St. Bernard Parish (summer after senior year of HS)
-Started drop off site at my college for a food drive run by a radio station in Philadelphia (Freshman year of college, 1st semester): the city-wide drive raised 252 tons of food.</p>
<p>Work Experience:
I worked consistently from the middle of sophomore year of HS until the beginning of freshman year of college (needed to really focus on school)</p>
<p>I've been through some hellish experiences with my family and whatnot. I also was diagnosed with hypoglycemia in the middle of senior year and faced blackouts and random fevers from the beginning of junior year. I explain some of this stuff briefly in my admissions essay.</p>
<p>Chance me? Thanks!</p>
