<p>I am currently a freshman at a liberal arts school. I absolutely hate the situation I’m in and am trying to transfer for the fall of 2012. I’ve tried everything to make myself like it here, including joining clubs, working, going to school events, making friends, and still can’t stand being here. Unfortunately this has had a huge impact on me, and I’ve suffered from a huge anxiety problem and some depression this year. I tried to work through it myself way too long, and it went on for way longer than it should have. I went to the doctor in the middle of winter quarter, and started taking medication. Those didn’t really start taking effect until about 2 weeks or so ago. This has had huge negative impacts on my grades- fall quarter I got a 2.0 with one f and 2 b’s and this quarter I’m going to be around a 2.3-2.5 with 2 c’s and a b. I’m so upset with these grades. I have always done well in school and I think getting grades like this has made me even more depressed.</p>

<p>A little background information
I graduated with a 3.5 GPA with 4 AP classes, 1 honors and 3 years of advanced science
3 years of tennis and 1 year captain
2 years of national honor society and 1 year officer
Over 100 hours of community service
Short exchange program abroad
ACT score 21 and SAT 1550</p>

<p>I don’t want to blame it all on my depression but I think this was a huge part of it. Along with this my school was pretty large and I struggled with large lecture classes. My smallest class has been 80 with most of my classes being between 100-300. We are on a quarter system, so I have one more quarter to go this year, and hopefully with medication I will be able to do better.</p>

<p>I am writing a letter to DePaul, explaining my current situation, would anyone be willing to read it over and tell me if it sounds all right?</p>

<p>But really my question is, do I have any chance at all at getting accepted to DePaul next year with such an awful college showing thus far?</p>

<p>Maybe it will be being a native from Washington since not many people from here go to DePaul 
Thank you!</p>

<p>Today in the mail, I got a post card from depaul with a bumper sticker on it. It said congratulations on your acceptance to depaul and just a number to call if i wanted to talk to a transfer counselor. Does anyone have experience with this? Will i be getting a packet soon with more information? I’m not really sure what to make of the post card. I’m hoping a packet comes on Monday and the post card just got a little ahead of the packet!</p>
