Didn't care about academics until now - can I fix my situation?

<p>I agree with jonri. </p>

<p>You are a statistical outlier. Because there is so little data for someone like you, on Naviance, for example, it’s really difficult for anyone to predict, so you are just going to have to go for it and see what happens. </p>

<p>Also a 35 is very very high. You don’t need to retake, spend your time on other things. </p>

<p>College admissions is not a reward, they are looking to fill their class with interesting and capable people. You sound interesting and capable. I don’t think that your 3.6 is going to hold you back in the long run. You may not get UChicago, but I think you’ll get in somewhere with intellectual peers. Keep on chugging along.</p>
