<p>For the optional statement I also talked about having Cerebral Palsy and having to cope with it all my life which impacted my high school career.
Do you all think that I have a good shot at U of A?</p>
<p>EDIT: Forgot to add that I am taking concurrent two concurrent classes at my local community college on top of my AP/IB high school workload.</p>
<p>Definitely - my whole family has gone to the U of A and I know you will get in. Your scores are okay, good enough for U of A. And your story and character seem perfect.</p>
<p>UGA2014: Thanks a ton pal!
Marinozai: Thanks so much! I chanced you back.</p>
<p>Also, I have since upped my college workload to two additional classes for next semester. Will this show the college admissions reps that I really do want to be better?</p>
<p>Yes, of course! If you haven’t gotten your acceptance by mid-January, call the office and ask if there is any additional information you can submit to boost your application (they allow this for updated SAT scores, National Merit results, etc.). Also, try applying to the Honors College - you won’t get in most likely with your scores and GPA, but a well-written essay could make you seem like an above and beyond candidate who is truly passionate about the school.</p>
<p>Ah I see thank you! I’m going to retake the ACT because my score is higher than when I first took it. I’m also planning to take two additional classes during the summer before the fall semester starts. I’m really going all out this time. I hope it pays off with an acceptance.</p>
