<p>Thanks for reading this.</p>

<p>Now, compared to everyone else on this site, I look like i don't belong but i wanted to get some serious chances on my NE application</p>

<p>I go to Rutgers Prep which is one of the top private schools in the state of NJ.</p>

<p>GPA: 3.0 ..yes i know its horrible. let me explain at the end.</p>

2 teacher recs: both teachers know me very well and know how hard i try..should be really good. English and Chem teacher.</p>

<p>EC: </p>

<p>Finally, the explanation for my GPA. i really want to know if this will make a difference to them...</p>

<p>My freshman year, I missed about a half year of school when my mother passed away from a brain tumor. The two years after that, i spend in and out of different psychologists office and because of this depression and mental health issues, my grades suffered greatly and i couldn't focus in school. This year, the first quarter, i have picked it up and tried to get myself together.</p>

<p>Will NE actually read this and understand and take it into consideration or will they just see my GPA and turn me away?</p>

<p>Your SATs are really good, but your gpa is somewhat lower than most applicants. It is going to be somewhat of a crap shoot for you. Did you apply EA?</p>

4

<p>I feel like college is a crapshoot for everyone :P</p>

<p>And yes, i did. That makes me think my most likely outcome will be Deferred, but hopefully i get accepted in march if that happens.</p>

5

<p>so did you get accepted?</p>

<p>I am not sure if I have gotten accepted yet. It is still not released to the applicants, and probably will be this upcoming Thursday if peoples’ predictions are correct.</p>
