As a member of the Schreyer Honors College at Penn State, I am held to a higher standard than other members of the university. Part of this standard is a requirement to maintain a 3.33 GPA every semester. Double majoring in accounting and history has turned out to be a much harder task than I envisioned when I began my freshman year at Penn State, and I failed to meet this GPA requirement during the 2010-11 academic year. Because of this I was placed on Warning status within the Honors College. This was a humbling experience for me, and has caused me to focus even harder on my academic studies. My commitment to studying has manifested itself in my recent LSAT score of 171, and I am making every effort to ensure that my grades are higher than ever.
