Chances @ WUStL

<p>GPA: 3.43 UW
Projected for Time of Application GPA: 3.6 UW
This GPA was because of only one year that brought it down due to family issues which will be the heart of my essay. Following that one semester, my grades shot back up. You can see from the grades below.</p>

<p>Taking the SAT tomorrow :/</p>

<p>Hopefully Ill get a 2100+</p>

<p>I went to a large public school in 9th and 10th grade.</p>

<p>I go to a private school (11th and 12th) which i think helps because of the competitive curriculum. It sends one or two (out of a graduating class of 40) to one of the best schools each year. This year was JHU, people have been sent to MIT etc...</p>
