<p>Extracurriculars:

<p>Other Info: Very strong writer. Suffered from NDPH (a non-stop migraine) for 4 months of my Freshmen year which kept me out of school for four straight months. Suffered from severe ADHD Sophomore year, GPA suffered heavily (I am re-doing many of the classes online from my sophomore year as to legitimately master the material and bring my GPA up, the GPA I posted is my GPA currently (after all redo's are done) my GPA without the redo's is somewhere around 3.3-3.4. I have already checked with most of the schools on this list, and they have nearly all said that they will take the grade for the redo classes.</p>

<p>Besides Macalester, Sarah Lawrence, BU, Syracuse and Grinnel, I have also been thinking of applying to Whitman, Oberlin, and Emerson. Also, as a super reach, I have been thinking about applying to Cornell, would there be any point in me applying there. (wouldn't mind chances for Whit, Oberlin and Emerson as well). Thanks for chancing!</p>

<p>Bump…</p>

<p>Your GPA is pretty decent and it is good that you are taking most of the honors classes.
Sarah Lawrence- I am not sure, I do not know a lot about this college.
BU- decent chances! You really should pick up your math and Writing though
Syracuse- this is your best bet
Macalester- your CR is good but you have to bring up your writing and math on SAT; decent chance
Grinnell- possibly, if you can bring up your Math SAT, they only take the CR and the Math btw…
What do you plan to major in??</p>

4

<p>Probably English, with a minor in either history, polysci, or philosophy.</p>

5

<p>If you study up for your SAT you will do fine!</p>

<p>Boost your SAT and you should have a chance a Cornell (it’s basically like a raffle ticket anyways). The rest seem like matches, but I think you’ll have an edge on other applicants if you can talk about your migraine in your essay and how it has effected you (in both good and bad ways).
