Help a junior? PLEASE!

<p>I took the SAT twice, the first time I got a 1690/1090 (570 R 520 M 600 W), the second time I got a 1840/1240 (670 R 570 M 600 W)</p>

<p>My GPA probably my weakest point, I had something like an 84/85 unweighted at the end of sophomore year, which translated to a 88/89 weighted. I think it will come up a little bit by the end of this year but probably won't get higher than a 90.</p>

<p>Honors:
Freshman Year:
World History H B-</p>

<p>Sophomore Year:
English II H B+
US I H C+</p>

<p>Junior Year:
English III H B+</p>

<p>Senior Year schedule:
English IV H
AP Gov
Bio II CP
Public Speaking/Crafts
Newspaper
Calculus CP</p>

<p>ECs:
SADD - 2 years
Newspaper - 3 years (very selective, hold page editor position and hopefully editor-in-chief next year)
Homework Help Center volunteer program- around 30 service hours for this year, will probably participate again next year and get another 30, and definitely do some additional community service in the mean time. This is a selective program as well.
Over the summer I will be volunteering at my local assemblyman's office, so I'm hoping that will set me apart a little bit.</p>

<p>Hopefully I'll get a job within the next few months and be able to add that to my resume as well.
I know I can get two very good recommendations from teachers as well.</p>

<p>Right now I'm thinking about going for Journalism, probably with a minor/double major in something more practical. </p>

<p>Schools I'm looking into:
UConn
Temple
Ramapo
Rutgers
TCNJ
American
Penn State</p>

<p>UConn would be my top choice as of now, American sounds amazing but it's a reach and I've never visited. Any other school suggestions around the mid-atlantic in my range would be appreciated!</p>

<p>If it makes a difference, I'm a white female from NJ.</p>

<p>Please? Can anyone offer me some advice?</p>

<p>rutgers, highly likely, though theyve started to be more selective so i dunno… still your sat score is good enough, and your gpas fine, so its maybe even definite. ramapo probably definite. penn state you have an okay chance, i know people who got in this year with around similar stats. tcnj is supposedly pretty selective, so that might be harder for you.</p>

<p>That’s what I was expecting to hear, good to get some confirmation. Thank you!</p>
