<p>I'm only in my first half of junior year HS, but I will be applying to college soon (next year). AU is my first choice and GW second, but they both seem like great schools and I'm still researching!</p>
<p>My GPA: 3.8
I'm going to have 9 credits of college courses by next year, I was accepted as an early admission at my local community college. My GPA in my college is a 4.0</p>
<p>Difficulty: 1 AP world history course, and my college courses also count as AP alternative, so that would be 4 more AP courses, plus accelerated American history, accelerated english, and accelerated biology.</p>
<p>SATS: haven't taken yet</p>
<p>I've started my own business at age 16, making family DVDs for local families. So I have a background in entrepreneur work, and multimedia</p>
<p>other extracurriculars: lettered in varsity cheerleading, speech and debate, college student gov, book club, columnist for my local community newspaper (not school newspaper, this is a professional organized paper)</p>
<p>Volunteer Service: 2 United Way events, local pen pal program with PA prison, YWCA, and privately run mission work in the United Kingdom for 2 years, supporter of NOYS (national organization for youth safety) and mocha club (in support of african orphanage)</p>
<p>Awards: Principal's award and 1st in my class during freshman year (my new school doesn't have class rankings) I also made Dean's List at community college. Rotary Club Student of the Month.</p>
<p>I definitely want to major in communications or journalism, and these schools seem like they have great programs for what I want to go into. I have presented at the VA in Washington for my business, and shadowed some of the communications people there. I have also presented to the Rotary Club, as well as the United Way. </p>
<p>So what are my chances, and what should I do to further boost my chances?</p>
