<p>I was diagnosed with arthritis junior year, i don't think that matters. Working in the pathology lab, changed my life and made me a dedicated student and passionate--plan to write about it for essay</p>

<p>any takers?</p>

<p>I’d say you have a very reasonable chance at all three. Your freshman year averages are bad, but you improved substantially. That’s particularly impressive considering your low income/migration. If you didn’t have that, I wouldn’t be very optimistic, but because you do, you could likely get into those schools.</p>

<p>Yea but when I think about it sometimes I get a pessimistic because there’s probably a good number of kids who have really low incomes and have better grades than me</p>
