<p>Job/Work Experience: did finances that were really receipts at a family friend's company and also had a job too</p>

<p>Counselor Rec: great</p>

<p>Also: Took 2 summer courses at a local comm. college- pysch and creative writing, both got A's. and i also got 4 academic awards (not sure if it means much, but what the hell)</p>

<p>thanks alot</p>

<p>btw, how much does minority status matter?</p>

<p>i think you should be in</p>

<p>your stats are about the same as mine and i got in (andd youre hispanic and that will help)</p>

<p>by the subject-and-response questions, are you referring to the short answers on the wfu supplement? just a heads up: i got a hold of an application for admission into the class of 2011 and finished those short answers..only to find out that with the next year's application there were altogether different questions! i can't remember what time of year the new applications come out though, you might be doing everything right and i'm just warning you for nothing lol :)
but best of luck to you thru this extremely fun application business.</p>

4

<p>i'm just writing personal essays, i'll deal with the actual apps in the summer. funn...</p>

5

<p>A little better SAT's, 30 ACT, 6AP's/lots of honors, top-notch extra curriculars (Eagle Scout, lots of community service, Editor-in-chief of two publications, 2 years football, President of my own club)</p>

<p>Asian</p>

<p>Waitlisted. It's tough to say these days.</p>

6

<p>does EA do any help or is it basically the same as RD</p>

7

<p>anyone....lol</p>

<p>Your test scores are definitely strong, but your GPA is slightly on the low end. I understand you went to a private school that doesn't rank and I'm assuming that a 3.4 is probably about/above average for your graduating but it's hard to say. As long as you show an upward trend, you'll be fine. </p>

<p>The fact that you're Hispanic will definitely help you out. I think you have a great shot.</p>
