<p>The reason my GPA is trash is bc I've always taken the hardest courses available to me and I didn't buckle down during freshman or sophomore year. I'm getting a 4.0 this semester as a Jr, definite upward trend. Also my football team is the best in the state and we have 3hr practices 7 days week, with only December off. Major time commitments and school didn't come first. </p>

<p>Opinions? Does URM hell? Should I apply ED? This is my number one school for sure.</p>

<p>Being an URM does really help with admission. You have to be qaulified or not, URM will not change that. Improve your gpa.</p>
