<p>BUMP.
all the nice people of CC, help me out!</p>

<p>I think you have a wonderful chance for Hopkins. Best of luck.</p>

<p>thanks for the encouragement but i'm worried as to how the GPA will affect me. while i know that colleges wont forgive it, hopefully they'll consider it in light of the fact that my academics ARE strong (evidenced by APs, SATs, and subject tests)</p>

<p>The fact that you have a strong upward trend and are not asking for FA are in your favor.</p>
