<p>Applying to the CFA/CAS combo program at BU, CFA at Syracuse, and undecided on American
GPA: UW 3.2/ W 3.7 (my grades are strange. I have mostly As or Cs. I did horribly first semester of freshman year with 2 Ds and a C, but my grades have increased greatly since. However, in second semester of junior year I received 1 D. I explain in my special circumstances letter on the commonapp that this is partially because of family issues I was dealing with after my uncle's early death from prostate cancer. But it is what it is. This semester I have a 3.86/4.6 and I talked to admissions counselors at Syracuse who told me that they would review my first semester of senior grades)</p>
