<p>I am sort of a complicated situation. Issues of depression and anxiety brought me to a residential treatment center for 9 and a half months during the second half of my sophomore year and first half of my junior year. Freshman year, I had a 3.72 GPA unweighted with four honors classes and one regular class. Prior to being sent away during my sophomore year, during the first semester, I had a 3.69 unweighted with 1 AP and 3 honors classes. During my time away, I had a 3.93 GPA unweighted with a couple of APs, no honors, and the rest regular. Finishing up my junior year back home, I had a 3.68 GPA unweighted with only 1 AP and 1 honors. And now, finally I am a senior, but my grades have declined slightly to a 3.58 and a high school cumulative GPA of around 3.66. My SAT is a 2170 (640 CR, 730 M, 800 W).</p>
<p>Common App Essay: wrote about my trek up Mount Kilimanjaro and my struggle to have the chance to take those two APs at the treatment center</p>
<p>ECs: have traveled to 6 continents, 20 countries, 36 US states
Team manager of varsity basketball team
Babysat and worked in a frozen yogurt shop in my town
JV and varsity baseball (but sat the bench haha) for the years I was at home
Member of an international Jewish organization (BBYO) </p>
<p>Community Service: volunteered in an animal shelter
Helped rebuild a school in rural Tanzania
Helped clean up a neglected Jewish cemetery in Bulgaria
Worked in an office for a not-for-profit organization that promotes humanism in medicine
Did a little bit of Hurricane Katrina relief work</p>
<p>Made honor roll every semester I was home</p>
<p>So, I am pretty worried that I will not get in because of my slightly declining grades, lack of APs, and time away from home (where there was little to no rigor at all academically). I'd greatly appreciate it if some people could respond to this post and chance me on the following schools. And be as blunt as you need to be! </p>
<p>WashU
Union
Vanderbilt
Bates
Colgate
Emory
Brandeis

<p>Thanks!</p>
