<p>Well that was some damn good advice! Thanks! yeah I had a 2.9 for the first semester of freshman year... and of course there's a VERY VERY valid reason for this... and i'm sure this reason will be taken into account. Huge HUGE UPWARD trend and the 2nd semester freshman year was a 3.7... so essentially only one semester really hurt me. Thing is my rank is so high because I've taken approx 20+ college courses in high school and that's the most out of my school and hopefully everywhere( hopefully! ). GPA is MEDIOCRE : /</p>
