<p>I educated a 9 year old autistic child for a year on my own time twice a week. I taught him how to speak correctly, write, think and express himself. Over the year, his family saw improvement, and I am very proud of this.</p>

<p>My GPA is low because my family (single mom, father committed suicide) went through a financial crisis and we were almost homeless for a while. Sometimes I did my homework in our car full of newspapers, where I would then sleep.
My grades completely changed after sophomore year... straight A's!</p>

<p>What are my chances?
UMich, Cal, UCLA, NYU, Emory, UVA, Reed College, College of William & Mary, George Washing University?</p>

<p>note: i am actually a junior, but these stats are what I am projected to end up with. i'll spend my senior year back in CA. what could i improve?</p>

<p>You'll be a very strong candidate at all of those schools, assuming you will be a CA resident and can keep your GPA up near 4.0. You could retake the SAT/take the ACT for better chances. You should be able to write a dynamite essay about your experiences. Having to study and sleep in a car is pretty unusual and succeeding under those circumstances shows a lot of fortitude.</p>
