<p>I want to study Economics or finance at Villanova. I am a Caucasian male from the west coast (who attends a boarding school). My GPA is low but it has a good trend. It was around a 3.8 freshman year, a 3.6 sophomore year and a 4.0 junior year. As you can tell sophomore was a difficult year for me, it was my first year at boarding school. Junior year I really challenged myself and I took 4 AP/IB classes (my school combines them): AP/IB US History, AP/IB English, IB SL Physics, IB ITGS. In addition I took TOK (Theory of Knowledge) and Chinese 1. I know that I can get good recommendations from this year, a lot of my teachers really liked me. My counselor also seems to like me a lot.</p>
