<p>120+ hrs volunteering at hospital

sports editor of school newspaper
Near completion of EAGLE SCOUT AWARD= just waiting on paperwork
Rotary club sr of the month
more ECs than ive listed</p>

<p>My freshman and sophomore grades were consistant low Bs and one C+ each year...
Junior year grades imporved and Sr year GPA is about 3 pts higher than career</p>

<p>essay assume average/above average
recommendations by 2 qualified teachers plus one from hospital I volunteer at.</p>

<p>My letter of deferal suggested sending sr year grades, i presume its to see if my junior year grades were an anomyly or if i actually did mature after sophomore year. I think senior grades will help me but What can I do to help my chances besides sending a letter to admissions office?</p>

<p>Do I have a shot? 2 other friends of mine applied and got in ED but one was a legacy and the other doesnt think shed have gotten in RD.</p>

<p>I'd say it might be a little bit of a reach for you, just because of your GPA woes. I'd try and get your grades up a little and consider applying RD. You might have a better shot there.</p>

<p>was that a typo or did you suggest my chances would be better RD. I wouldve thought ED2 wouldve been easier since it shows commitment. am I missing something?</p>
