I was very involved in high schoolJun 02 2011Biology
I was very involved in high school. I rowed crew as the team captain and I also did track along with volunteering at the animal shelter. If you want to get into SHU, I would reccomend that you participate in a couple of extracurricular activities and have a good G.P.A I would reccomend at least a 3.0 since the average is a 3.2.
