<p>I applied ED (deferred) to Virginia Tech and RD to James Madison. I got into my safety school GMU but still have about a month to go till i know about VT or JMU. My grades should have been a lot better but school has always been easy for me, so I don't think i worked as hard as I could have all the time. Literally i would have quarters with random C's bc i wouldn't do hw. I regret this but I can't do anything about it now. One other quick note, for a lot of the classes i have b's in my 1st semester grade was a B and my 2nd semester grade was a B+. For almost all of my classes I do better 2nd semester then 1st.</p>
