Howard Class of 2017

<p>Howard is my number 1 and idk if I will get in but I have a 2.7 gpa and my sat is really low but im taking it again in nov. I have a lot of extra curricular’s and I plan on writing a good essay. What are my chances?</p>

<p>I’m only applying to Howard and Spelman, maybe Georgia Tech. I want to take the pre-med track and major in biology. I want to become either an anesthesiologist or an oncologist. Cross my fingers lol. Haven’t sent all my materials in yet. Still seems like forever until senior year ends though!</p>

<p>Hey I’m applying to Howard as one of my choices.</p>

<p>I’m applying via Early Action. Will applying Early Action give me priority housing possibly?</p>

<p>I also would like to know my chances of getting in.</p>

<p>I have a 3.3 unweighted GPA, been taking all AP and honors classes since the 9th grade.</p>

<p>Below are my credentials. I also obtained a 1720 on my SAT. I would just like to know my possible chances of getting a scholarship. My CR + Math score is 1130. I would like to know if my GPA would compensate for that and in that case if I would get the Capstone scholarship.</p>
