<p>I'm a senior in High School right now,
and I have been sick for a year, more mental disease.
Due to this, I have failed most of my courses in my junior year, and transferred to other school. My old school was an art school which ended around 5, and my current school is a independent program which offers a research based courses.
Because of new medications,I have been doing well this year and I'm trying to apply for these schools. My intended major is music (piano), and I wonder if I should try to apply or not. My grades will go up since I will make up the classes in the spring.
I will be explaining in my essays, but I am very frustrated with myself.
I'm posting this on many other forums. Sorry about that!</p>
<p>I am so, so sorry to hear about that. You always have a chance... and most things in life are risky. You will not know until you try and apply. I'd say the majority of Tufts' applicants do not know their end result because of the process being holistic and what not. </p>
<p>All I can advise you is that you make sure you make clear your situation and history, and show the progression of your improvement. </p>
<p>Irregardless, never doubt yourself with any school, even if many will be reaches. Make sure you apply to colleges that you are confident about because you always do need a 'Plan B' as WCASParent called it in one of his/her previous posts. </p>
<p>I wish you the best of luck with everything!</p>
