<p>You have a fair shot. Obviously your overal 3.4 GPA is very low, but the strong upward trend could help. They might have been more “forgiving” if it were an ED app. (By the way, where are you applying ED?)</p>

<p>sound a lot like me, but I’m a senior, so that was good enough 4 years ago, I know that the standards have only gotten higher. The GPA is kind of low, but maybe if you focus on why it was so low and why you had the soph slump (I did too), it might redeem yourself. Are you looking to play soccer at NU maybe? we’re good…</p>
