<p>Hey. I am a Female senior at a small private school in Los Angeles that does not rank. I really messed up in my freshman year, but got over it and started doing really well afterward. My weighted GPA 10-12 is 4.11, my weighted GPA 9-12 is 3.7, my unweighted GPA 10-12 is 3.7 and my unweighted GPA 9-12 is 3.3. My SAT score was 2320, with an 800 on writing, 770 on CR and 750 on Math. My SAT 2’s were 730 on math2, 680 on Spanish and 690 on lit. I am co-president of student council, have traveled to mexico to build houses, do walks for aids and diabetes and such, tutor kids at my school, and have been on varsity tennis for 4 years. Have a job at the grocery store, and am doing an independent study class on education. Writing a 40 page paper for it. I am an interesting case, as I went to drug rehab and am being open about that in my apps. I am making it more about my parents’ divorce though, and am using that to explain my poor grades and trip to rehab. Im not making excuses though, it’s just true. I am sober and everything now, taking ALL honors classes, really pulling myself up. was wondering if you could give me any insight as to how my chances are. thanks.</p>
<p>It is quite an achievement to pull yourself back after your parents' divorce and from drug rehab. Congratulations! I also would recommend your guidance counselor commenting about your dramatic improvement in academic performance and certifying that you are no longer using drugs. Hopefully, the admissions committee will read your application with sensitivity and understanding. Your scores and grades are within range so your essays will be important.</p>
<p>I read "The Gatekeepers" several years ago which talks about a year in the life of a Wesleyan admissions officer, and if I remember correctly, there was a student who got into trouble with illicit drug use, and unfortunately was not able to address that issue satisfactorily enough for the admissions committee.</p>
