..SEVERAL marathons, too many to type.lol.</p>

<p>What are my chances of being accepted into Howard?
Also, I know my Freshman year grades were terrible, but my Jr. and Senior year grades were fantastic ..Could I get academic scholarships for those two years?</p>

<p>And can I get athletic scholarships for Cross Country and Track even though I was JV and only did them for 2 years? I would have done them the first two years, but my grades were too bad.</p>

<p>Are there scholarships for Mock Trial?</p>

<p>The reason my grades were so bad Freshman and Sophomore years is because my father died right before Freshman year started. I was depressed.</p>

<p>So what are my chances?</p>

<p>I hope to double major in Sociology and History/Black Studies.</p>

<p>Thanks,

<p>Hi! You may already know this, but a bit of advice:
Make sure that, in the recommendation they will write, your college advisor/guidance counselor/whoever thoroughly explains the situation with your father and that that is the reason your grades were poor. If they know there was a very legitimate reason, colleges will be more forgiving.
Hope this helps, best of luck :)</p>

<p>I say in. You have a great upward trend. You junior and senior GPA is crazy good and a 34 on the ACT is really amazing. Good Luck! :)</p>
