Applying to College

<p>Hello, before I get into my GPA and grades, I want to make it clear that I fully understand that I messed up high school big time. I have always struggled with grades and it finally caught up to me with the high school course load.</p>

<p>Anyways... I am a Senior at a highly ranked public high school in Massachusetts</p>

<p>GPA Unweighted: 2.6
GPA Weighted: 3.0</p>

<p>SAT: 2150 (2010 the first time, taken twice)</p>

<p>I have taken all honors classes since Freshman year, and have an upward curve in my GPA</p>

<p>Recommendations: From my Economics teacher and French teacher, both very solid and underlining the upward curve. (I had my Econ teacher for 2 years and my French teacher for 3 years)</p>

<p>Member of:</p>

<p>-Model UN
-Kiva Club (Vice President)
-Investment Club (Vice President)
-Team Captain of a Relay for Life team, which has raised over $5,000 in the last 3 years</p>

<p>I am an Irish citizen and an American citizen, my parents came to America when I was very young.</p>

<p>I am hoping to study business, but I understand that the business school is difficult to get accepted into.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Wrong board but I’ll chance you anyway. I’m also trying to get into Isenberg and I would say that due to your low GPA (in this case as Isenberg is difficult to get into) I would say Isenberg is a high match for you. </p>
