Point Park University (Pittsburgh, PA) University of Minnesota Boston University University of Miami (Miami, Florida) St. Cloud State University (Minnesota) Millersville University (Pennsylvania) St. Louis University Temple University (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) I am currently an incoming senior in high school and I have been looking ahead to my future a lot so far. I would like to go to college to triple major in journalism, broadcasting, and history. Then I would like to become a sports broadcaster or sports journalist (preferably for hockey, but I don't care). I know it's best to go to college in a big metropolitan city that is pretty sports oriented if I want to one-day work in sports, that's why Pittsburgh is the top city in my list. Counting my grades, SAT scores (when they improve), extracurricular activities, experience, etc, do you think I can get in to Point Park University? ______________________________________… My grades during my freshman year were: Comprehensive English 9 – 86 German I – 80 Physical Education 9 – 87 Health Education – 76 Family & Consumer Science 9 – 86 Algebra I – 79 Chorus – 90 General Biology – 82 U.S. History I – 92 Class Rank: 178/332 Overall Average: 84.0831 Overall GPA: 2.9188 My grades during my sophomore year were: Career Skills for the Future – 94 Desktop Publishing – 93 Comprehensive English 10 – 84 German II – 73 Journalism I – 96 Physical Education – 94 Health Education – 87 Family & Consumer Science 10 – 85 Geometry – 82 Chorus – 95 Physical Science – 79 U.S. History II Honors – 76 Class Rank: 165/325 Overall Average: 85.6319 Overall GPA: 2.9806 My final average grades during junior year (this year) were: Health Education 11 – 97 Physical Education 11 – 89 Computer Projects A – 98 Crafts – 91 Economics – 94 Comprehensive English 11 – 85 Environmental Science – 83 Lifestyles for the Future – 94 Global Studies – 95 Algebra II - 80 Journalism II – 96 Class Rank: 157/317 Overall Average: 87.2933 Overall GPA: 3.1489 --------------------------------------… Total SAT Scores: SAT Reading Scores – 410 SAT Math Scores – 450 SAT Writing Scores – 420 SAT Total Score – 1280 (I’m going to be studying and practicing a lot this Summer and I’m going to retake them in the Fall) ______________________________________… The Classes I Will Be Taking Next Year As A Senior Are… Comprehensive English 12, General Chemistry, American Society Honors, Trigonometry, Journalism III, and any more electives that I choose. ______________________________________… I used to volunteer at an after school day care for kids 8th grade and down. Helping them with homework, playing games, and giving them snack. Now I am a member of the Lady’s Auxiliary at my towns local fire hall and I volunteer there. The extra-curricular activities I am involved in are SADD Club, Wrestling Team, Wrestling Team Student Athletic Trainer, Church Softball Team, and Youth Group. Next year I might be involved in Youth Group. I am also a sports reporter for my high school’s newspaper, The Rocket Star and I have my own sports column called Player of the Month. I have been chosen to be the Sports Editor for my senior year (next year). Finally, during my junior (this year) and senior year of high school I have a student internship with WOYK 1350, a sports radio-broadcasting network, for both the football and basketball seasons. I will go to all my school’s home and away game, collect stats, call in stats, and broadcast the game I reviewed on live radio.

I can tell you right now that Boston University is definitely out of reach for you.

I think you might have a chance at Point Park and Millersville. Your SAT scores are within range for those schools, but your GPA and class rank are a little on the weak side. Your extracurriculars seem pretty good, though. Unfortunately, I believe that BU and UM will be reaches for you. Try taking the ACT. Also, I'm not sure when app deadlines are, but try to boost your GPA during the first semester of your senior year. Good luck!
