Balance extracurricular activities and school work. They look at you as a whole person, not just this number or that number. Do your extracurricular resume, have a decent GPA and decent test scores, and get great recommendations. Apply by the early deadline!

I had a good GPA in high school, butDec 03 2009Sociology
I had a good GPA in high school, but I know people who got in with a 2.0. Also, your SAT scores do not necessarily have to be high. I was never really involved in many extracurricular activities. This is an easy school to get into; just make sure it is really where you want to go before you apply.
