<p>Hi everyone! Sorry in advance for the information overload.</p>
<p>I'm a female, Hispanic senior in Florida. Applied & got into FSU w/scholarship &into its honors program; U of Pittsburgh w/scholarship; USF w/scholarship; FIU w/scholarship.I've applied to other schools, but I'm just focusing on American for this thread.</p>
<p>Top 5% in class of ~400 students
GPA: 3.66 uw; 5.08 w; 4.0 college GPA uw
SAT: 2050 (720 CR, 620 M, 690 W)
SAT II: Spanish w/listening: 800, US History:670 (forgot to study)

<p>Extracurriculars (I'll only mention the major ones):

-Spanish Honor Society (11th-12th grade): Really successful year for fundraising this year, especially with Walk for Autism.
-National Honor Society: (11th-12th) Major activities include Pennies for Pasta and Trick or Treat for Unicef, in which both I was heavily inolved with. Aside from regular community work, I'm in Brain Brawl, an academic competition only for NHS members. Went to county semifinals

-Symphonic band for 2 years- in 10th gr went to adv. band b/c of playing ability</p>
<p>Volunteering: ~300 hours total
-Mostly in library in children's section and with church in doing charity work. Helped promote literacy & was heavily involved in summer reading programs & festivals in library; helped with food drives & christmas presents for soldiers and did office work for church
-Also tutor ESE students in school b/c I'm in ESE for gifted.</p>
<p>Addtl info:
I'm hoping that my low math SAT scores will sorta be overlooked because I want to be a lawyer, so I'm not going to be involved in anything math related. I'm also hoping that because I'm hispanic, it'll help out a tiny bit. Also, I got an interview scheduled next week for American, and have shown demonstrated interest in 8 ways including online chat, and getting in contact with alumni and current students.</p>
<hr>
<p>I know I've been chanced before for American, and I've been told I have a good chance of making it in, but I haven't been chanced for specific programs before. I want to know how much of a chance I have for the following programs: PPL & honors. I want to be a lawyer and go to law school in the future, so either one would be great.</p>
<p>Now my dilemma is the undergrad major. I want to major in both Poli-Sci and Psychology, but each major is in a separate school within American. Poli-Sci and the PPL program are within the School of Public Affairs, while Psychology is within the College of Arts and Science. Furthermore, you can't major in Poli-Sci in PPL program. You can only do either Poli-Sci or PPL, or Psychology. Any help or opinions would be great, as I've been struggling on how to select a major, since the app is due tomorrow. I'm not sure what to pick, so please help! </p>
<p>If you help me, I'll try to chance you back. Thanks!</p>
