<p>So at the end of my junior year i will have taken 2 aps (USH and pysch) and have a 3.66 gpa (estimation). I took the math level one and 2 subject tests and got 800's on both and on a practice act i got a 33 composite. Senior year I plan on taking all AP's and being a peer leader.
I work at a soup kitchen, tutor underprivileged kids and mentor the mentally handicapped. In addition I'm gonna be a 2 year varsity captain. Also, I work for the school giving tours and running events such as dramatic performances and concerts.
Plus i plan on submitting an art portfolio and at the end of next year will be a published scientist

So if I've still got you after all of that i have one question.
Will this be enough to get into Holy Cross E.D.? </p>
<p>P.S. If my grammar is off I'm sorry. I just finished school and have had way too many sleepless nights to care right now. </p>
<p>P.P.S. Does going to one of the top private schools in NJ coun for anything?</p>
<p>It would appear that you would be a very strong candidate. Show a lot of interest by interviewing and taking an official tour and you should be all set.</p>
<p>I agree with everyone. You’re basically in haha.
GPA’s slightly a bit low, but you’re really well rounded and involved. Plus, your test scores are awesome. You have a great chance of getting in! I’d be surprised if you didn’t since you sound like a more excellent candidate than I was when I applied lol.</p>
<p>Thank you so much for all of your advice
My brother whose a junior at Georgetown is telling me that I should look elsewhere but I visited (not officially) and I honestly fell in love with the school. I’m slightly worried because I read that connections are huge at Jesuit colleges and I really have no connection to the school. Another thing that might be an issue is I might not take APUS next year just cause of how the schedule works so how bad would that look to Holy Cross?</p>
<p>I’m only a sophomore so there is still some time to think about it.
I really can’t thank you guys enough :)</p>
<p>I only took one AP class my junior year (AP Psychology) and I took two AP classes my senior year (AP Chemistry & Biology).</p>
<p>I didn’t really have any connections to Holy Cross. My AP Biology teacher is a Holy Cross alumnus, but he didn’t write my recommendation because I didn’t get to really know him until later in my senior year. I have a very very slightttttttttttttt connection, but barely any since the school isn’t even aware of that.</p>
<p>Thanks so much jeno
I think I’m just going to not worry about it until next year
I figure if I keep worrying about it I’ll be burnt out by mid way through junior year which would not be good!
I hope you love it there and I’m sure you will :)</p>
