<p>Reflection
Strengths: Leadership, Experience (Mainly related to my intended major), ambition, Recommendations, and Extracurricular
Weaknesses: GPA
I know my grades arent the best, but the reason for that is because I was always busy with school, and extracurricular activities. And I'm not using that as an excuse at all, but i think admissions will take that into consideration. And it wasnt like I joined every club available just to be in them, I was an active member of each one, and I have leadership roles in many of them. So do you think that I have a chance at all? Also Im great at interviews so hopefully I nail that too.</p>
