<p>Hello!
I haven't decided between ED brown or columbia, but I will soon! I am currently a junior who happens to be an asian male :)</p>
<p>GPA: 3.8/4- This is because I got 3 B+ in junior year. This was partly due to one of my best friends dying, and it really messed up my second quarter grades. My guidance councilor tells me that she will write a letter for me if I wish. How will this come into play? (btw, the classes were bc calc, ap physics, and ap chem)</p>
<p>SAT- 2340
SAT 2- 800 math2, chem, bioE, bioM, APUSH</p>

<p>Mostly I am just really worried about my GPA, because those three Bs at the end of my junior year is going to reflect a downward trend, and I don't really want to use my lack of motivation as an excuse. Im sure there are more things that I am forgetting, but these are the major ones. Thanks! :)</p>
