Chances for Spelman

ACT- 26 (taking it again in hopes of raising it to a 28-30) SAT- Haven't take it yet. GPA- LOW (3.0) Classes- Eight Adavanced Placement classes under my belt, by the end of my senior year. Passed all with no less than a C. 3 Dual Enrollment classes Extracurricular Activity- Mock Trial for two year, Model United Nations, Youth Leg., Volunteer work at the local hospital, Not to mention all of the extra work I do to help my community (cleaning parks, volunteering at a summer camp for the youth) A plethora things I do at my church with the YPD (Young People Department). . . Essay writing skills are through the roof according to every english and history teacher I have ever had, and it improves more and more and the years roll by. -sighhhhhhhhh- I'm so nervous, because Spelman is my DREAM COLLEGE. It would absolutely crush me if I weren't accepted. I really need some input on things Spelman looks for in a young black woman. I know it is highly competitive to get into Spelman. I can't wait til see what the future holds for me.

hey, i can totally relate to what ur saying, Spelman, at this point, is my first choice, however i understand its competitiveness. i attend a college prep school and as of my 9th n 10th grade years i have a 3.0 GPA also. however i have a cumulative GPA of 4.0 during my junior year so i expect that 3.0 to go up 2 about 3.3 at the most. i took my SAT and received a 1540 (or 1520.lol) and i plan on taking it again to, hopefully, get my score up. ive completed over 270 hours of community service, im in the IB program, ive been in extracurricular activities, i have also done model UN (so much fun.i even won a trophy.lol), i have been in leadership positions and i currently do video production and web design at my job where ive help positions such as floor director and technical director for video production (both leadership positions) in taping a youth television show, im also in the process of creating my own website. id like to think i have a chance but i know there are going to be a wide range of students applying i can only hope i stand out.=[...good luck with ur application process. yay 2009
