<p>About me:
I have a major upward trend in my grades. During Freshman year I was in an experimental program in my school which ended up hurting me GPA, I also suffered depression (explained in my essay) during my Sophomore year which really hurt my GPA. My UW GPA Junior year was a 3.78 and Senior year is a 3.83 (as of now). I'm really worried I won't get into these colleges because of my low GPA, and I also need scholarships because my family falls in that "awkward" financial zone where we need money, but don't qualify for any. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you all!</p>
