<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>you have a good chance with or without the excuses because you show an upward trend anyway low grades DO NOT MATTER in the beginning if you show potential through increasing grades. besides ur sats are amazing and ecs are good.</p>
<p>I think your story could be interesting, though try not to make it as if you want people to pity you. Make it about how it has made you a better person for it. Your test score show you're highly intelligent so I'm sure you'll be given the opportunity to excel in college. </p>
<p>p.s. you have a lot of threads with the exact same topic. . .</p>
