<p>The main reason that is keeping me from Applying to Amherst or BC are my high school stats. My GPA entering my senior is a 3.05, im not sure if it is W or UW. The online grade website is awful. My SAT scores are not good either. Plus, my first semester was just a huge step downward. My GPA for 1st semester will most likely be a 1.8; it got to that because so much happened to me during the first semester. </p>
<p>My grandmother had passed away and it really hit me because she is the first family member that has passed away; it took me a while to cope what had happened. During september i found out i had psoriasis; which is a skin disease that itches a lot. I had to wait two weeks to get the cream that i needed to treat it. It got really annoying because i was itching all the time, it was that bad. I know that these are essay topics to talk about, but my GPA will be the decision maker im assuming.</p>
<p>I didn’t apply to any UC’s, i just did CSU’s.</p>
