<p>****My first semester of junior year, and I've been really sick, hence the low grades. Did I completely ruin my chances? BTW they still don't know what's wrong with me, so I could screw up my grades next semester too, but using that any chance??</p>

<p>No real “hooks” other than I overcame more obstacles in life than most people have to: parents were drug dealers, I’ve taken care of my father since he was in a near fatal car crash many years ago, overcame PTSD, and was in and out of the hospital most of my life due to a weak immune system and chronic pneumonia.
Those don’t really count though, but they do reflect my character in that I take every bad thing that happens and turn it into a positive way to help others :].</p>
<p>Thanks all. I had more info in here before if this looks familiar. But I feel like my GPA is going to keep me out. BROWN IS WHERE I WANT TO BE!</p>
