<p>Yeah, I know my college GPA sucks like anything but I was hoping my average HS grades, ECs and good recommendations would make up for it. Also, the fact that i'm from the Philippines (meaning i'll be paying full since im an international student) will help. (and if they're trying to diversify)</p>
<p>College ECs:
-Association for Communications Technology Management member
-Ateneo Junior Marketing Association member</p>
<p>Will still take SATs this May 1st because they weren't required here.</p>
<p>TOEFL- will take this Saturday. I'm pretty confident since I'm bilingual and even though English isn't my 1st language, its a predominant language here.</p>
<p>Question: would I have to give my 2nd sem grades when I finish even if I don't want them credited?</p>
