<p>Hi guys! I'm new to College Confidential, but I have seen lots of helpful information coming from this site.
I am currently a high school senior girl, and I'd like to know how I'm doing.
My ninth grade year wasn't great, transitioning to the private school I entered, I pulled an 85 average.
Tenth, I improved a bit: 88 average.
11th, I got the hang of it, 93 average.
This year, my quarter grades haven't come in but I'm guessing something like a 92 will be my average.
So far, my recorded cumulative average is an 89 (without Senior grades)</p>
<p>Do schools consider my improvement?
My ACT was a 33, and my SAT a 2110.</p>
<p>I am applying to (According to my college counselor):
Reach schools -- Notre Dame, Uchicago, WashU, UCLA, Boston College</p>
<p>Possible -- NYU, UC San Diego, University of Michigan, USC, </p>
<p>Likely -- George Washington, Tulane, Case Western, University of British Columbia, Boston University</p>
<p>EC's:
I sponsored and created a school approved cultural club with approved sponsor and location.
I volunteer for a cultural center and have won 3 state-wide awards for my work.
I participate in the City audition choir and the high school All-State band.
I am a journalist for the school newspaper.
I work a paid job at least 7 hours a week.
I am a varsity swimmer.
I officially teach a foreign language at the state university school of arts and language.</p>
<p>How should I strengthen my application then? With Early Action's coming along, I'm skeptical because of my low GPA.</p>
<p>Help!
Thank you,
