<p>*RECS: * GREAT nothing really negative</p>

<p>Essays: Excellent but not spectacular </p>

<p>Additional information- MOST IMPORTANT wrote two essays</p>

<p>In my junior year I had to take care of my brother – 1st grade, mom worked out of state due to economy in the housing market, dad had to work evening hours until midnight – lasted until April- GRADES effected big time, effected AP scores- everything went bad to turn it around- I took 7 ap classes 1 hn senior year, 1 hn class over summer w/ 2 programs. </p>

<p>I also have stuttering which affects me everyday- this should make me stand out…</p>

<p>I think your ECs are great, but your test scores and early grades won't work in your favor. Since the 77% of applicants are accepted, I'd say you have a decent chance</p>

<p>Wow! You have nothing to worry about! (I am also extremely jealous that your school offers so many AP and Honors classes, mine only offers two AP classes!) You're early grades are a result of having responsibility beyond your years but you pulled yourself out of it so Admissions should like that. That aside I think you're good to go!</p>

<p>Do you live in OH, more preferably the Cleveland area? Because if you do, that could really work in your favor.</p>
