<p>Essays are really good, and I actually got to read most of my recs, and they're all great (two of them are even 2 pages!). I had the state rep for whom I interned write me a rec letter as well. I know my GPA/rank will pull me down, but my GPA is largely due to taking the most challenging courses offered (even IB electives), and you don't get weighted GPA points until junior year. I have two C's on my transcript, but they are 79's and from Freshman year. I've also taken 5 classes at the community college throughout high school.</p>
<p>I'd really appreciate if you chanced me, and I'll be sure to chance back! </p>
