At Howard University.. Here is my stuff. Please be completely honest.
Activites:
Varsity Debate Team
Academic Decathlon (made it to state)
Mock Trial attorney
S.A.D.D. (President)
DECA (Vice-President of school chapter)
Elite Choir (top select of singers from all of our choirs)
Solo Contest (got division 1)
NAACP
Recycling Club
Grades (my problem):
Freshman year: 1.1
Sophomore year: 2.2465
Junior year: 3.2
Senior year: Hopefully a 4.0, I'm trying..
Those should (with the 4.0) add up to about a 2.6 GPA. But with my situation, it would probably be best that apply early action, and that's first semester of my senior year.. so they wouldn't even really see the 4.0. Without it, it would average to be about a 2.2 GPA. And even with first semester of a 4.0 senior year, it would average to be about a 2.3-2.4 GPA.
ACT: 30
I am VERY aware that that is a horrible GPA to graduate with, and I truly regret it. The problem was that 3 days before my freshman year started my father died from cancer. I was depressed and that got in the way of me reaching my full potential. Sophomore year my mother remarried.
I just really want to go to Howard University. It really is my dream school, and I hope with every bone in my body that I get accepted. I don't think there's any other applicant that wants this as bad as I do. I know that sounds naive, but it feels right to say.
My desired major is Afrkan studies. I know that's not a very popular major, so that might help me. Or will it? I just really need some honest predictions... What do you think?
At this point, I'm not banking on scholarships or anything. I just want to get accepted; that's my only goal. I want this.
I don't want your 2 cents, I want all the change you have. Tell me the truth.. And no, I refuse to go to community college for 2 years.
i applied to Howad early application...i got a letter saying that they are further reviewing my application
i have a 3.6 gpa...ranked 17 out of 84 in my class
SAT & ACT scores could have been better
activities...
FBLA president, BETA, class secretary, homecoming court representative, basketball cheerleader, colorguard captain, tennis, youth sunday school teacher, track, ...and various honor awards
i want 2 know what are my chances of gettin in??
I got the same letter.and they accepted me on February 20th..
you should be fine!!
same situation with another classmate
real talk shawty...you might not get in...not tryin to rain on your parade, but I know people that had high GPAs & scores & still didn't get in..just apply for an EASY major, like political science
your best bet is to have a major in the school of arts & sciences, then just change your major when you get there
funny u should say that..im a political science major and i dont think its an "easy major" but w/e. and i also dont believe your major will give you a better chance of getting in.

i'll try to help u as someone who has already gotten in and got a scholarship...you asctivities r really good. it shows that u can b involved and balance ur grades. I was really involved and had good grades too. personally i think wen it comes down to it...SAT scores r wat they really look at. if ur SAT scores wrre pretty decent u should b fine. I saw your class rank and I was like OMG ...u only have 84 ppl in ur graduating class. I was ranked 33 out of 839 and i was **** because we lost like 200 ppl since freshman year. Because your so involved they will probably take you but u will probably have to look other places for money...keep hope alive. me... i think i might turn down my scholarhip to go to Spelman. Good Luck!!

thank u...are you attending Howard now did u just get accepted and thinking bout other places...wat kind of scholarship did u get??
and i also dont believe your major will give you a better chance of getting in.
Umm, I would say both yes and no for that one.
Each school/college within Howard University also has their own requirements for admission so it can either be a positive or negative depending on the major.
Dang. I had a 85 average on my transciprt. Only activities I did was basketball & I worked @ a Pharmacy in SoHo. & I got accepted back in January. Im sure that most of yall will get accepted
