<p>I'm a junior (obviously) at a private christian school. I have a 3.7ish GPA and have taken, for the most part, the most challenging classes my school offers. I'm on the national honors society and the academic league. I've organized a recycling program at my school. I've been interning for congressman Bob Filner for the last year. I have gone with my church on several occasions to visit orphanages, and build houses in Mexico and Jamaica. I'm heavily involved in the local san diego music scene. I'm a singer-songwriter (I play guitar, steel guitar, accordian, drums, etc.) I've released 3 albums and have been nominated for 3 san diego music awards. I have worked together with Taylor guitars to fund music programs in elementary schools, and have performed at political rallies and a water conservation fund-raiser. I haven't taken my SATs yet (and I'm really a little concerned about how I'll do on them). Not to play the sympathy card, but both of my parents passed away my freshman year, so I have a compelling story. What do you think? Thanks in advance! -Derek</p>
<p>i'm almost 100 percent sure you'll get in. look at some of the stats of the people who got in (not the super geniuses with the 2100 or 2200 on the SATs and 4.0's)</p>
<p>Thanks Steve!</p>
<p>i actually got in with a 3.38, wiht ap phys and ap calc, i got 1850 on my SATs and i did absolutely nothing for extracurricular for school. got in, outta state and everything.</p>
<p>Good to hear, Steve. Congrats.</p>
<p>meh, know why these are my stats? cuz i like to have fun, rest, don't do hw, hit the casinos and play instead of study. that's what makes me so happy i got in.i have senioritis too, but the thing that i do is turn in all my work on the very last week. it's worked for 4 years.</p>
<p>you sound proud of your slacker-ism. i'm a slacker too, but i've realized i need to change if i don't want to flunk out of college.</p>
<p>of course i'm proud, but yeah i'm not gonna flunk, if i really needa do something, i'll do it. anyways slacking off is way more fun then studying. i wanna go up to UW and have fun, but of course i'll study.</p>
<p>100%? I don't think so...</p>
<p>I got rejected, and here's my stats...actually not that far from yours:
3.7 UW GPA, 1970/2400 SATs (1340/1600), plenty of EC (orchestra, go teacher, medical transcriptionist, church leader, etc. etc.), plenty of community service + national honors society, legacy (my dad's alumni), in-state, good essay (reviewed by teachers).</p>
<p>but yeah you said that there was a problem wtih your app or something; something about extenuating circumstances and yada yada... i forget. if he does his app right and whatnot, he'll get in.</p>
<p>yeah, mad senioritis right here. haven't actually sat down to do hw since second semester started (all i do is copy...). i know i'll do fine once next year starts tho, just no motivation right now. </p>
<p>but yeah, you should get in.</p>
