Chances for a kid who was almost diagnosed with cancer

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hey guys,</p>

<p>So freshman year the doctors performed surgery on me and took a lymph-node out of my neck and said it was negative for cancer. However, after running more tests on it, it came out positive for lymphoma. I was devastated and though I was going to die within the next couple of months. Eventually, the report did come out negative and i was not diagnosed with cancer but it led the way for a 2 year long ordeal with health problems that has severely impacted my grades. </p>

<p>Please chance me for:</p>

<p>University of Colorado at Boulder
University of Oregon
University of Arizona
Syracuse
San Diego State University
UC Santa Cruz
UC Santa Barbara
University of Montana at Missoula</p>

<p>unweighted GPA: 2.97
weighted GPA: 3.1-3.2ish</p>

<p>SAT: 1650
(1730 super scored)</p>

<p>APs:
APUSH - 3
AP Eng Lang - 3</p>

<p>ECs:</p>

<p>2 years lacrosse
livestrong club
honor society 2 years

<p>I don’t know too much about those schools and their admittance, but you should definitely write about your health experience/struggles! That’d set you apart!</p>

<p>No essay for CSU’s, but where you live makes a difference. </p>

<p>Is 3.1 your UCGPA? Assuming you are a California resident, you need at least a 3.0 to submit the application, and before they read your essay. </p>

<p>If I where you, I’d include an application to UCR since they are no longer a “referal” school.</p>

<p>^^^ Yes, Im a california resident. Live in SoCal. I’m really trying to raise my gpa over summer and get my GPA .3 more points to get atleast a 3.0. Trying to see if I can take an online BYU course to bump my 2.97 (unweighted) up to a 3.0. Anyone have any advice on this?</p>

<p>3.1 is my UC GPA.</p>

<p>California^^</p>

<p>For San Diego State, WHERE in California makes a pretty big difference with regard to GPA X SAT that gets you in. I beleive the entire campus is impacted, so it’s pretty hard for students outside of the local service area. </p>
