<p>hm so yeah.</p>

<p>I'm a first-generation Latina college applicant. :)
I'm taking the most challenging courses... and always have. :)
The reason my GPA is so low is because I had a year round 70 average sophomore year. Big mistake, I know. Early case of senioritis, but it was soon gone! :)</p>

<p>This one's hard to tell as well. </p>

<p>Average should be at least 90 for Geneseo and somewhat high score in SAT. Teachers recommendations are worth waaaaaay more than parent recommendations. Essay shouldn't be much humorous. It should be written with your writing skills for them to see how good of a student you are to be accepted to Geneseo. Essays count alot in admissions.</p>

<p>I'm glad that your grades went up from 70 to above. Colleges love to see your averages going up as the time goes rather than constant high average. </p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
