<p>Hello everyone, I'm currently between Junior and Senior year and have recently visited Urbana. I absolutely love the school. Could you please chance me for admissions to their journalism program?</p>
<p>I live in the state of Illinois</p>
<p>GPA: UW: 3.4, W: 3.78
ACT:
I have taken it twice, and the results are marked: Test 1 (1), Test 2 (2)
English: 35 (1) 34 (2)
Math: 34 (1) 32 (2)
Reading: 33 (1) 32(2)
Science: 29(1) 33 (2)
Writing: 10 (2)
Best composite from a single test: 33
Superscore: 34
Considering that I'm going into journalism, I assume that the 35 english will help if they look at specific subscores for admissions</p>
<p>I have taken weighted and ap courses all 4 years of high school, never letting the amount of honors coursework fall below two weighted classes a semester.</p>
<p>My gpa is on a steady incline</p>
<p>EC:
I am a managing editor for a NSPA Pacemaker and Columbia Gold Crown winning school newspaper and head of a Columbia silver crown winning website.
I am a varsity pole vaulter and have been on track for all four years
I have been on my school's speech team for four years and a manager for one of those.
I volunteer as a counselor on a retreat run by a local nonprofit youth and family service organization, and I plan to write my essay on this
I am in the quill and scroll journalism honors society
I work a job as a waiter year round
I've been on second honors role each year
I am a freshman mentor, meaning I lead a class twice a week for freshman new to the school</p>
<p>I understand that my biggest weakness is my gpa, but I am at the point where it probably will not change drastically.</p>
