<p>Hey everyone,</p>

<p>I’m a paranoid American applicant. So yeah, I didn’t exactly work very hard in school freshman year… but I turned around sophomore year and raised my GPA quite a bit.</p>

<p>Right now, I’d guess that I stand at around 3.6/4.0 (un-weighted) </p>

<p>I’m applying for Journalism, bare in mind.</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:</p>

<p>-Editor of the school newspaper
-President of art club
-SADD member
-Community Aids Initiative member
-French club member
-Bowling club member
-Class congress member
-Service Club member
-Children’s Hospital Volunteer</p>

<p>I’ve worked, attended a leadership convention, and received a few awards too.</p>

<p>My SAT scores are undoubtedly my downfall. I’ve never been an exceptional standardized test taker and my scores are testament.</p>

<p>My verbal/math score comes out to about 1200… but I’m proud of my writing score: 720</p>

<p>With all that said, what do you think my chances are? I’m incredibly nervous and could use a bit of honesty at this point. Thanks!</p>

<p>I think you have decent chances. I had the same writing score as you...720. and only a littel higher combined verbal/math (1240 my math was bad grrr) and you have great ECs. Anyway I got in with mine, were actually very similiar students!! </p>
