<p>Other details:
I’m sure my essay will be good because writing is my best subject. I’m Roman Catholic as well. A lot of my clubs were for one year because I went to Catholic school as a freshman but then switched to public school in my sophomore year. I won’t be applying for financial aid. </p>
<p>Applying to:
Pepperdine
UCLA
Northeastern
University of Texas Austin
Columbia – I know, not possible, but its my dream school so I figured I’d try
Barnard – same case as Columbia I guess
NYU </p>
<p>Planned Major: Marketing or Public Relations</p>
<p>I know my GPA is pretty low, but I was wondering if my SATs/extra curriculars could make up for that. Part of the reason my rank is so low is because at the private school I went to, you could only take a max of 3 honors course your freshman year (no APs either)…the public school I go to now allows freshman to take unlimited APs/Honors classes, so I fell behind in that respect.</p>
<p>I'm taking all APs my senior year, so I'm hoping to pull my GPA up to like a 3.9 or a 4.0, which would make me above top quarter in my school.</p>
