Visit the campusMay 11 2010English
Visit the campus.
Keep your grades in high school pretty decent (at least 1 AP or Honors class is recommended).
If you do early action, where an essay is not required, feel free to submit one anyway. It gives the admissions office a glimpse of who you are.
Do well on the SAT or ACT (you don't need to ACE is but it doesn't help to aim high).
If you are out of state and CNU has a representative come to your school for a college fair, TALK TO THEM. It can only help you!

I am a Caucasian female and I applied toJan 29 2010Undecided
I am a Caucasian female and I applied to this school early (non binding) with a 3.28 GPA, (on a 5.0 scale) 1990 SAT score, and did not write an essay. I was accepted. I applied to PLP: at this point in time my GPA had risen to a 3.4. I wrote an essay about an international peace activity which I was a leader for. I was accepted. I graduated from high school with a 3.54 GPA, but by this time I had already been accepted to both PLP and the school.

Assuming you want to go to CNUSep 25 2008Political Science
Assuming you want to go to CNU... they love numbers. Numbers are their bread and butter; they plaster them all over informational booklets and the website like trophies.

Get over a 3.4 GPA, get a solid SAT (1220+) and combine it with good essays talking about the "Welcoming campus environment, sense of community, and your commitment to service" and you'll get in, no doubt.
