<p>I am a sophomore in a Connecticut High School going into 11th next year. My GPA is around 3.75-3.8 unweighted and a 4.38 weighted. I am president in one club, possibly two. I am also a lead volunteer at Yale Hospital, volunteered for over 160 hours and I am a full-time writer for two sports websites. I take all honors classes and one AP class. I plan to double major in Finance or Economics and Journalism/ Communications. What are my chances at these schools?</p>
<p>You might have a shot as it is, but these are highly selective schools. If you have good SAT/ACT scores, continue to take as challenging of classes as you can handle, and have a good class rank, then you should be a strong candidate. The sports writer thing is unique, so keep that up!</p>
<p>Without some standardized test scores it’s going to be tough to give you guidance. Your GPA is at the 50th%-tile for admitted USC students; I suspect that’s also true for NYU. Assuming that your scores come in at a commensurate level to your GPA I think both those schools are Matches, (I don’t know anything about CSU-LB).Come back after you take the SAT/ACT.</p>
