Freshman Needing Advice!

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I am a Freshman, Caucasian Male. I live in Southern California, and go to a public High School.</p>

<p>This is my schedule, and current grades for my freshman year...</p>

<p>Algebra 1 [A]
Biology [A]
English 1 **
Oral Interpretation [A]
P.E. [A]
Art 1 [A]</p>

<p>Though, my GPA for last semester was 3.0, I am looking to get a 3.5+ this semester.</p>

<p>I think it is quite obvious that my problem lies within the fact that I started in High School with non-honors classes, and that I have retaken Algebra 1 due to a bad grad last year. I am also taking Geometry over the summer at a community college, if that helps at all.</p>

<p>As of right now, this is my one extra curricular:</p>

<p>Speech and Debate
[Already 9 trophies, 3 medals, a plaque, gavel, and certificate in freshman year]
[On a team of 90, I am the second best freshman, according to NFL points.]</p>

<p>I also think my life story about my disabled brother [he has cerebral palsy], and the two divorces in my life will help enhance my essay.</p>

<p>I need to know what steps to take to get into NYU, because it is my dream school.</p>

<p>I would like to major in Political Science, btw.</p>

<p>PLEASE CHANCE ME, AND TELL ME WHAT I NEED TO DO!</p>

<p>umm… improve your GPA- make every effort to do that, while maintaining a somewhat rigorous schedule- take a few AP’s/honors. Also, don’t do too much outside of debate- if you want to, then do it, but as long as you can show passion in debate then that’s okay. And do comm. service and find a job/internship next few years… yeah</p>
