<p>I am going to be a junior in the fall of '09. Basically my first two years of High School, I messed up. I got a wide range of grades from As to Cs.
My GPA is about 2.95-3.0.
I know this isn't "the end of the world" but at my school there is a lot of pressure to do well. I have really high goals, but I came upon some really tough times the past two years and it definately was reflected in my grades. My goal is to go into journalism. </p>
<p>Here is a summary of my statistics... </p>
<p>Female
African-American, Lutheran, Conservative </p>
<p>-2.9-3.0 GPA (Currently)
-I can probably pull my GPA up to a 3.5 by mid-senior year...(Calculated - It is possible)</p>
<p>Participated in:
-Mostly Enriched/AP Courses
-Tutored an Elementary Student
-Elected Rookie of the Year and Captain of High School Speech Team
-Also Regional Champion in my Speech Category
-Participant in Concert Orchestra (Cello)- Highest offered at HS
-Highly involved with Dance
-Has Summer Job
-Began a Tutoring Program for minorities at my HS (For Fall 09)
-100+ Volunteer Hours
-Again, likely will have 3.25-3.5 by mid-senior year</p>
<p>I am looking at Columbia University, NYU, University of Southern California, University of Maryland, U of Chicago, Macalester (MN), St. Thomas (MN)</p>
<p>Where do you think I can make it in?
Any other good Journalism colleges where I can major in Broadcasting or Communications that you can think of would really help as well. </p>
<p>If you have any other recommendations it would be great!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!</p>
