<p>Other Info: Very strong writer. Suffered from NDPH (a non-stop migraine) for 4 months of my Freshmen year which kept me out of school for four straight months. Suffered from severe ADHD Sophomore year, GPA suffered heavily (I am re-doing many of the classes online from my sophomore year as to legitimately master the material and bring my GPA up, the GPA I posted is my GPA currently (after all redo's are done) my GPA without the redo's is somewhere around 3.3-3.4. I have already checked with most of the schools on this list, and they have nearly all said that they will take the grade for the redo classes.</p>

<p>Besides Macalester, Sarah Lawrence, BU, Syracuse and Grinnel, I have also been thinking of applying to Whitman, Oberlin, and Emerson. Also, as a super reach, I have been thinking about applying to Cornell, would there be any point in me applying there. (wouldn't mind chances for Whit, Oberlin and Emerson as well). Thanks for chancing!</p>

<p>Edit: Got a 3 on APWH test, got at least a 4, hopefully a 5, on the AP Lang test.</p>

<p>Bump…</p>

<p>See how the SAT retake goes and reevaluate then, because that’s really going to sink you right now as is.</p>
