<p>Thanks so much for your input. I really am not sure how I stand with this schools.</p>
<p>Most private schools take time reading your essay and supplements, so make sure that they’re strong!!! Be honest and be yourself.
Also, it would be good to show that you have leadership. Are you a club leader? Sport team captain? To be more competitive, you should have at least 100 hours of community service. </p>
<p>Yes, colleges would like to see improvement in your grades. Don’t slack off during your first semester senior year, because private schools look at your semester one senior year grades!! </p>
<p>Is your gpa weighted or unweighted? You have a good shot at BU, Northeastern, Tufts with your 2000 SAT score, but I’m not too sure about Carnegie or Cornell…it would be great if you could boost it up a bit, but i think your grades are more important than test scores. ;)</p>
<p>don’t worry too much about freshman year grades, because they’re not super duper important. sophomore and junior year grades are the most important!!! </p>
<p>calilove77, thanks for the reply. Yeah that GPA is unweighted. And I’m hoping to take the SAT again in October to boost that score. I’m not sure I could reach over 100 hours of community service by September. Do you think it would be a deal breaker if I don’t have over 100? Thanks</p>
