<p>i want to transfer to scu as a sophomore... right now i am finishing my first semester at john jay college of criminal justice in nyc. </p>
<p>expect to have a 4.0 or 3.8 if i study hard for finals.
had only a 3.27 high school gpa
1280 on the SATs (710 verbal).
took 2 AP exams-- 5 in english, 4 in psychology.
i don't have many extracurriculars:
100+ hours community service
2 part time jobs through high school.
i have gotten a lot of awards: english merit award, local councilwoman commendation, president's service award, work experience merit award, work experience scholarship, justice scholarship (at my current school, given to 10 students a year), gene clifton memorial scholarship (given by the police department in the city i used to live, 1 local student a year), honors program at my current school.
i have a really good rec. from my philosophy teacher.
i'm going to write a (hopefully) good essay on forensic psychology, what i want to study. do you think the uniqueness of this will help?
i'm also in state although i am living in new york this school year. i went to one of the most competitive public high schools in ca, palo alto high school. what do you think?</p>
