<p>Hey Guys!, im a rising senior in high school, so as you can imagine, Im looking at colleges and getting a little bit nervous. African American Female residing in Maryland - I attend a public school. I am also applying to University of Maryland - College Park, Boston College, Washington University in St. Louis, and UVA. If you would like for me to chance you back, feel free to leave a link! Let's Get Started...</p>

<p>SAT I - 1810, not impressive i know, but I will retake it again whenschool starts up again. I Im taking 2 SAt Subjects tests when school starts again - Biology and U.S. History. </p>
<p>GPA-3.54 (UW) 4.2 (W) - might have those mixed up,idk. Not sure if my senior year GPA for 1st quarter would factor in, but I'm hoping it would boost it a little bit.</p>

<p>In my essays, I will mention that I was diagnosed with PCOS and uveitis at the beginning of my sophmore year - the reason my GPA sorta dropped, but I picked it back up my junior year. I had to take monthly injections in my eyes, weekly blood transfusions, weekly injections of methotrexate, and other medicines that had their side effects.</p>
