I’m planning on applying to ND and Villanova Business College during my senior year of high school. I want to know if I should even getting my hopes up and applying to these two schools. I’m a white female half way through my Junior yr of high school. I attended a private Catholic school for my freshman/sophomore yrs. I moved to another state and I am now attending a local public school with average academics. I want to go into a field similar to business/law/psych. Feel free to recommend any schools I may also may be interested.
My EC are:
-USA Ice Hockey Referee-grade 9 (hockey is not a big thing in my new state so I cannot pursue this anymore)
-Karate (grades 11- through hopefully grade 12)
- JV Track and Field team (grade 9)
-Founding member of the Mock Trial Team at my current school (Grades 11 through hopefully grade 12)
-Member of National Honor Society (Grades 11 through hopefully grade 12) - JV girl’s golf (grade 10)
- Athletic Trainer (grades 11- through hopefully 12)
- Unsure of service hours/volunteer hours about I estimate about 30hrs right now and I plan to at least get to 75)
2 summers of work experience
My Academics are a bit odd, my previous school (grades 9-10) had a much more rigorous grading scale than my current school, and weighs grades all 4 years (if you are taking difficult courses) They did not rank students.
I took the most rigorous courses available my Freshman/Sophomore years- I got majority A’s a few B’s and one C. I was on the high honor roll all four of my semesters there.
Junior Year-
Economics (1 semester)(Dual Credit)
Intro to Marketing (1 semester)(Dual Credit)
Medical Terminology/Advanced Health(1 semester)(Dual Credit)
IB Psychology SL
IB History HL
IB Biology HL
Algebra 2 Honors
IB English HL
Computer Graphics 2
I am on course to have all A’s except for one or two B’s
My expected courses for senior year are:
Advanced marketing, IB Math Studies SL, IB History HL, IB Biology HL, IB english HL, Government (1 semester), Weight Lifting(1 semester), Computer Graphics 3 (1 semester), Intro to Business (1 semester), Business Law (1 semester)
If my current trends continue I should expect to have Mostly A’s and a few B’s.
My GPA is messed up due to a different grading scale/weighing qualifications. At my previous school I was about a 4.25.
I estimate once my new school finally figures out how to fix my grades. I’ll be around a 3.7-3.9 on a 4 scale…weighted-kinda (it’s a weird situation)
Also my projected ACT by the ACT Aspire test was between- 28-31. I plan to study hard/take courses to maybe get higher.
Sorry if this was a mess!
