Essay vs gpa

<p>So I'm applying to sarah lawrence college, and I'd appreciate it if any slc students/alumni would read my commonapp essay and/or a supplement. I've been over my essay with my literature teachers and they loved it, but the thing is, I feel as though I need to write ridiculosuly well in order to make up for a poor gpa (3.55 at a top 150 school until 11th grade, during which I got a 2.4)=overall gpa is now a 2.85. I would greatly appreciate it if anyone would take the time to read my essays, especially on such short notice!</p>
