<p>My family and I lost our home in the summer of 2006, and my father (my mother died when I was in 6th grade), my 4 siblings and I have been living in a small rental. Alot of the money I get from my job goes to supporting my family, and I have not been able to take part in a lot of extracurriculars due to this.</p>

<p>I'm from New Jersey, and I want to major in either Computer Science, Physics, Philosophy, or Political Science.</p>

<p>Chance me at Rutgers-New Brunswick, Ursinus College and Northeastern University.</p>

5

<p>You will get in everywhere, perhaps even more prestigious schools as well. If you want to major in computer science, I would recommend Cornell CALS. I think you have a solid shot there, given the hardships you have faced.
Chance me to, if ya want. <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/428602-chance-me-cornell-hofstra.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/428602-chance-me-cornell-hofstra.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Do you really think I should be looking at more prestigious schools with a 3.06 GPA? Even Rutgers has a higher average GPA of incoming freshman, and my class rank is terrible.</p>

8

<p>That's because those people haven't experienced the set-backs that you have faced. If you make sure to let colleges know the pain you endured during your high school years, you will definitly be in. It isn't easy to have a 3.8 average junior year, especially for someone who has gone through obstacles as agonizing as yours</p>
