<p>Hey. I am a Female senior at a small private school in Los Angeles that does not rank. I really messed up in my freshman year, but got over it and started doing really well afterward. My weighted GPA 10-12 is 4.11, my weighted GPA 9-12 is 3.7, my unweighted GPA 10-12 is 3.7 and my unweighted GPA 9-12 is 3.3. My SAT score was 2320, with an 800 on writing, 770 on CR and 750 on Math. My SAT 2's were 730 on math2, 680 on Spanish and 690 on lit. I am co-president of student council, have traveled to mexico to build houses, do walks for aids and diabetes and such, tutor kids at my school, and have been on varsity tennis for 4 years. Have a job at the grocery store, and am doing an independent study class on education. Writing a 40 page paper for it. I am an interesting case, as I went to drug rehab and am being open about that in my apps. I am making it more about my parents' divorce though, and am using that to explain my poor grades and trip to rehab. Im not making excuses though, it's just true. I am sober and everything now, taking ALL honors classes, really pulling myself up. was wondering if you could give me any insight as to how my chances are. thanks.</p>
<p>I had a friend who was also in rehab for cocaine usage, I think...was suspended from school for it, actually, so I know she had to report it on her applications. She seemed to do fine in the admissions process...she got into Boston University, which I thought was a pretty good deal.</p>
<p>Honestly, I don't think it'll harm you that much. You seem like a pretty great applicant...considering what you went through, I'd actually be impressed by the fact that your GPA and SATs are as high as they are, and that you're so active, too. It's one of those things that, if approached properly, could really turn from something bad to something good. I know you already addressed it, but just really make sure you don't sound like you're making excuses in your essay because I think that would really turn them off. But I'm sure there are more important aspects to it that you've decided to write about, and that's awesome. </p>
<p>In any case, best of luck! I don't think you should have any problems.</p>
