Could I get into Howard University with a 3.0 (unweighted) GPA?
My Extra Curricular Activities are:
Track
Cross Country
Cheerleading
Mock Trial - Captain
Debate Team
Show Choir
NAACP
and I Volunteer at the Special Olympics every year
I want to major in either Philosophy or Sociology with a French Minor
If I do very well on my ACT/SAT, do you think I have even the slightest chance of being accepted? ..I know my GPA is a little low.
Thanks.

Yes, you do have a chance of being offered acceptance.
Your extra-curriculars are great! However, are you taking any AP courses or any other classes where you could possibly receive college credit? Do you hold any other leadership positions besides Mock Trial Captain?
I see you want to minor in French...are you apart of the French club (if there is one at your school)? Also, Philosophy is a difficult subject to understand...what is your ultimate career goal? Are you working towards that goal now as a high school student?
well i just got in and my gpa was the same as yours. i think that they also take your essay into consideration and my sat scores were ok. I got a 1030. sooo i guess you have an alright chance..
Yes. Do a little prep work for the SAT (nothing elaborate, just get familiar with the format of the questions) and make sure your essay and recommendations are on point. You mentioned participating in NAACP and Special Olympics, see if you can get the chapter president or executive director to write a recommendation for you. You're involved in a lot of activities, which is a strength.Don't worry, you should be fine. Enjoy DC!

Yes, I'm taking AP courses. My weighted GPA should be around a 3.2. Besides Mock Trial Captain, the only other leadership position I hold is Treasurer in the NAACP.There is not French club at my school, but sometimes I stay after school to help Freshmen with their pronounciation, spelling and grammar in French - If that counts as an extra curricular activity.I'm considering a Philosophy major, but I'm leaning towards Sociology. After 4 years of one of the two, I plan to go to Law school (hence Mock Trial and the Debate Team).On a scale of 1-10, what do you think my chances are?
