that’s it. If you want to know why my gpa was so low at the beginnning, its because of lack of confidence. But a few incidents forced me to stop fearing so much and to just give it my best. I know I slacked off really badly at first. But I improved. So, do you guys think I have a shot at Northwestern at all? Thanks for reading this EXTRA long post!
