<p>ECs: Several Leadership positions, I’m a member to a few different community committees, and have over 300 hours of community service. Active in Church of Christ. Most of my ECs I have been active in all four years of high school. </p>
<p>Advice:
Make sure you join activities as a Freshman and stay committed to them throughout high school. Get involved with community service now as well, it is both rewarding on a personal level as well as useful for admissions and scholarships. Take rigorous coursework and keep your grades up. Study for the SAT, it does make a difference.</p>
<p>I’ll be attending in the fall.</p>
<p>GPA doesn’t really matter as they look at the context of your school…</p>
<p>Class rank= 11 out of 120 at a competitive college prep school (probably on par with the top 10% or so of public high schools, yet definitely not one of those New England boarding schools)</p>
<p>I took everything my school offered honors/AP wise, and I passed 5 of the 7 AP tests I took.</p>
<p>ACT=32 (2120-2140 converted to SAT)</p>
<p>730 CR
690 Math
720 Writing</p>
<p>Average ECs, definitely nothing special.</p>
<p>I chose Pepperdine over UCSD and UCSB’s honors program because of an academic scholarship (Deans Scholarship) they offered me that put it, cost-wise, on par with UCSD/SB.</p>
<p>The assurance of small class sizes was the determining factor (other than the scholarship).</p>
<p>I hope this helped.</p>
<p>ACT - 29
Class rank: 1 of 50
GPA 4.0</p>
<p>5/6 EC-held leadership spots as Sr.(i was able to stay activly involved because of small school)
Lots of Community Service</p>
<p>took all AP classes offered (only 2 tho) so took college classes at community college jr/sr year to stay competitive</p>
<p>I think they look at the quality of your EC and Community service. Better to have 2 or 3 things that you are fully committed to than 10 things you hardly help with.</p>
<p>boarderbry - can u list your stats out of community college</p>
