<p>Hello, I'm new to CC but I've read many great posts on here previously, finally decided to make one! Anyways, I need HONEST but not RUDE opinions of my college chances. </p>
<p>Quick Bio: Average student freshman year but encountered family problems (forced to move out from parents home because of stress from them arguing, transferred schools, supported myself with after school job) during sophomore & junior year of high school. I realized my mistakes I made and had a strong upward trend senior year. Currently a fifth year senior, gpa has continued to rise. Maintained a 3.2 semester gpa since senior year but my cummulative gpa is barely 2.0. I've talked to college counselors from all of these schools and they all seem very understanding of my situation.. Most said their school would most likely look past my gpa and focus on my semester grades upward trend, EC's and test scores. Currently attend a private tribal school. ACT 19 & SAT 1370. Awaiting new ACT scores and scheduled to retake SAT in a few weeks. I'm also an enrolled tribal member. I'm considered OOS for all schools except WSU.</p>
