Could someone please do me the immense favor of telling me if i have a chance at Suffolk University in Boston.
My College GPA for the past 2 years is about a 3.33
I am involved in the International Student Union (diversity is important to SU) the Geography Association.
In HS i was on the school paper, swimming and crew teams, some clubs.
I do some charity. I took part on the running of a talent show benefitting a disease and a few walks and fundraising for said disease. Also for the past few years i have had a local TV show that has taken alot of committment.
My HS GPA is lackluster, like 2.7ish but i did take a few honors at a time. I have an on the spot admissions interview and am terrified. Will somebody please help me.

I don't know much about Suffolk University; buy yourself one of those college review books on Amazon or at a bookstore. Many often give average SAT scores and class ranks of students accepted at individual colleges across the country.

Regarding your interview, be yourself. Don't show off - be humble, but at the same time, don't downplay your achievements. Good luck.

Which deparment are you applying to? Well, I know a couple of friends in Suffolk University and visited the school a few times. I can assure you that 99.99%, you will be accepted, unless, the admission committees are smoking when they review your application. : )
