<p>I have no free/lunch periods. I am literally the only senior at my school that is doing this(out of a class of 250+) As for the first trimester, all of my grades were 85+, except for IB English, which I failed(I did not complete my Internal Assessment in time for the end of the marking period, so I was docked 30 points off my grade)</p>

<p>I wrote my application essay on a personal experience and my english teacher really loved it and said it was the best written essay out of my whole class. </p>

<p>I wrote a personal statement describing my reason for poor grades, which is because of the medical problems that I have(Hypersomnia, Hyperventilation, Paresthesia, and Panic Attacks). They are primarily happening due to the fact that I am very overweight and unhealthy. These disorders have caused me to be absent for many days of school.
Freshman Year:23 days

<p>My Psychology teacher and Guidance Counselor wrote me very strong recomendations.</p>

<p>Are you sure a 78 is only 2.3 seems like that should be higher and your sats are
On par for all of your schools. Your taking quite challenging classes and you had medical problems that affected your grades so I’m sure you will get into at least a few on your list. I know your gpa is pretty low but I would say rider is a possibility. Goodluck</p>

<p>thanks for the chance!</p>

<p>I think your chances are solid at all your schools, except perhaps the CUNYs. Before getting set on Rider, the Cunys or Seton, be sure to check out what % of kids stick around on the weekends.</p>
