Chances for HYPS... screwed up frosh year

<p>Some people are so MEAN on here! I’m sorry, subpar? That’s a really mean thing to say. And, almost out of jealousy…
ANYWAY, yes, your freshman grades leave a lot to be desired. However, the upward trend is VERY GOOD. That just may be your saving grace. The fact your GPA is so much higher now is going to be a very very good thing when you apply to these schools. I would attempt to attach something about why your grades were so low as part of your additional info section - explain the issues, it’ll help. I mean, I’m not going to give you reach/match statuses for these schools, because they’re all a dice roll basically. So, I think that your scores/motivations/ethnicity are going to be a HUGE benefit to you, and put you as a really competitive person among all of these students. Best of luck to you! </p>
