Chance me for UCONN Engineering

<p>Freshman year: 1 honors class, the rest regular classes GPA (UW): 3.85
Sophomore year: 4 honors classes GPA (UW): 3.69
Junior year: 3 honors, and 1 ap class GPA (UW): 3.40 (the reason my gpa dropped so low was due to personal reasons ; stress from school, and family, family conflict with relatives. i was also bullied for a really long time and went through a pretty rough time in middle school, and honestly, those experiences were really traumatizing. things happened my junior year that reminded me of it, causing me to become very anxious and extremely self deprecating)</p>

<p>to make up for junior year and to "redeem myself", I'm taking four AP's next year (one of them being part of UCONN's ECE program) and 1 honors. I hope to get all A's.</p>
