<p>Hello this is my first post. Here we go. In 9th I was the person to screw around and not do much I barely passed my classes and started off with a 71 gpa. In my tenth grade year I had to leave school because I developed cancer in my knee which stopped me from going to school for a year. When I came back I got to finish up the second half on my 10th grade year with 80s and 90s. I just finished my 11th grade year with a lot of 80s and 90s now my gpa is a 80-81. I want to go to arizona state university but I feel that because of my grades they'll reject me. When I took a practice SAT I got 1300 and it made me lose a lot of hope. I'm going to 12th grade now no I'm going to take the sat and shoot for a 1400-1600 and apply. It says on their website that an out of state student needs a 2.5 minimum. I know I can make it but I don't think they'll consider my gpa in the twelfth grade. Can anyone give me some advice? Can I make it?</p>
<p>Also it doesn't specify that they want an essay, or recommendation letter but can I still send them to let them know what I was going through and that I'm determined now?</p>
