<p>Schools:</p>

<p>Also my dog died first week of senior year which affected me alot. It kinda pushed me to start volunteering at the shelter. My grades arent as high as they were before and so i have a 4.0 weighted right now but i have just been lazy so itll go up.</p>

<p>Um this isn't meant as a joke in anyway....but c'mon, "my dog died first week of senior year which affected me alot" sounds pretty pathetic man. No disrespect to your deceased dog, but I don't see how your supposed to convince people of anything with that.</p>

3

<p>uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i had my dog for 12 years...maybe ur not a compassionate human being and maybe you dont have a soul but i loved my dog and i miss her ALOT</p>

4

<p>I'm pretty sure I have a soul...to question that fact because I simply suggested mentioning your dog died on a college forum really makes no sense or has any relevance is pretty absurd.</p>

5

<p>ok maybe it is but do u really have to berate me over it. Leave me alone</p>

6

<p>ok, i'm sorry</p>

7

<p>I'm sorry about your dog WoW, but I have to agree with D&C. I mean no disrespect whatsoever about your dog and I understand how sad it truly is, but no serious college is going to consider that loss as significant in the evaluation process. I do think, however, that most of your schools are a good match with UCLA a slight reach. Get up those SAT scores and you'll do great :D</p>

<p>yeah it was dumb to put it i agree but thanks neemi! The first encouraging news i have heard yet lol</p>

<p>Although you may genuinely be unhappy because your dog died, I am nott too sure if the adcoms will buy that.</p>

12

<p>I completely understand, but i would like people to forget what I said about that and just evaluate my chances please, thanks and again it was stupid to say what i did about my dog its the wrong place to do so</p>

13

<p>i looked and my school offers 16 AP's and 11.5 Honors...does this hurt me very much?</p>

<p>Senior Schedule: AP lit, AP Enviro Sci, H Econ (next sem AP Gov), AP art history, Pre-Calc</p>
