I am a junior in high school, i got to a private school in Maryland.
S.A.T- 1430 ; Math: 450, Critical Reading: 460, Writing: 520.
GPA. 3.4
I don’t play any sports, but i am going to try out for badminton in the spring. I volunteer at a homeless shelter everyday. I am currently at 435 hours. I have not taken the A.C.T yet. What do you think my chances are and what can i do to improve my chances of getting into Howard? That is my dream school.
If you want/need a scholarship, I strongly suggest getting your GPA up. Take the ACT and see if you can get a more competitive score than your SAT and use that as a gauge to determine which to submit.
Volunteering at a homeless shelter is awesome. If you can somehow tie in your experiences there, what you’ve learned and how they will help you in your intended major or contributions to Howard University, that would make for an interesting essay/personal statement.
