<p>Both of my parents died in the summer of 2010, at the end of my sophomore year. I did not go back to school until August of 2011, pretty much skipping an entire year of school. In my first semester back, the fall of my Junior Year, I did not have very good grades and suffered depression because of the unresolved issues as a result of my parents' deaths. Before they died, their sickness engulfed my family, to the extent that I could not get involved in any ECs until the second semester of Junior Year. The low GPA is a result of this as well as financial hardship. We were very poor and my brother and I still struggle to pay bills and things of that sort. I got accepted into the QuestBridge program, but failed to match with the schools I ranked. While I have gotten numerous fee waivers for college applications, I am stuck in a hard place because I lack the funds to send my official SAT scores to the colleges I applied to(Cal, UCD, UCLA, UCSD, USC, Princeton, Brown, Columbia, Tufts, Haverford, and Stanford). I have been told that my writing is good, but I don't know if it is good enough to get me to these schools. I know that I applied to a lot of them, a majority of which are very competitive, but I want to know 2 things from the very respectable people here at CC(no sarcasm at all): Do I have a chance given my situation? and Is there any reliable way that I can send my official SAT score reports?</p>
