<p>I'm a junior from California, and I really like Whitman because I love liberal arts school and the fact it's on the west coast and seems to have a more laid back feel. Could you chance me really quickly?
GPA: 3.8 uw, 4.46 w
SATs: 2120 (700-m, 720-cr, 700-w) and i'm retaking in may and might do better but probably not by a huge amount
SAT subject: World History-720 bio-620 and i'm taking lit and spanish in june
Extracurriculars: Soccer, Environmental Club, Hamiltonians (a history club sort of), Usherettes (It's a school community service organization and i'm secretary if that counts for anything), Humanitarian club, I've volunteered at the library, at a camp for little kids and am starting at a preschool for homeless children.
I'm half mexican and half italian
I've taken 3 AP classes so far: World History, Environmental Science, and US History and I have taken one college class over the summer, biology</p>
<p>Next year I'm taking
Calc (a college class offered on campus)
AP English
AP Gov/Econ
AP Spanish
Soccer
Psychology at city college?
Thanks so much!</p>
<p>This is a fine profile for Whitman, I'd guess. They really do look at the whole student and for a fit with their community, more than specific numbers, I think. So demonstrating your interest and enthusiasm will make you a solid candidate. Good luck...</p>
<p>I think you're in. Your test scores are in the butter zone, your GPA is strong, and you're challenging yourself. What are you thinking about studying at Whitman?</p>
<p>Their rhetoric and film studies program is very well regarded. As for english, I don't know. My ignorance though, I couldn't tell you if any school had a good english dept.</p>
<p>if you can, visit the school, show that you are really interested. you can be a great applicant and still not get in if you show no interest in the school. if you can't visit, go to an info session held in your community/school, college fair where whitman attends, call admissions office to send you stuff, etc etc.</p>
