<p>Hello everyone!</p>
<p>I'm a second year student at Northern VA Community College and am set to apply to schools before the first of this coming March. I've had a very unstabe academic life, a flip flopping trend that shows in my transcripst starting from kindergarten. I've been continent hopping due to parents work since I was a child and naturally all those sporadic changes didn't settle well with me. Point being; I'm not a dumb kid, but have not a very impressive face in letters and numbers on paper.</p>
<p>I graduated from Langley High in 06, was set to go to JMU but couldn't due tofinancial reasons and talked myself into attending the local community college. I said, fine I've landed myself here so I'll work my way up and into a reputable 4 year institution in the state of VA.</p>
<p>The trouble started my first semester of college, I got a D in Calc. I was stupid and was peer pressured into going on to calc 2 where i naturally recieved an F. My gpa has plummeted since.</p>
<p>The rest of my grades consist of As and Bs. Mostly Bs. Not becaues I'm not capable but because somewhere along the dull dilapidated uninspiring environment of the cc, i seem to have lost myself of the path i was originally on.</p>
<p>My current gpa is a 3.0. I still have one semester to go and to take 2 courses of French plus the latter half of college composition class over the summer.</p>
<p>I'm looking at U.VA primarily. But also GWU, Georgetown, John Hopkins, W&M, GMU, JMU and Va Tech.</p>
<p>Advice on where to go from here would be MUCH appreciated.</p>
<p>please and thank you!!</p>
