<p>Hey guys! I’m an out of state female from a well-ranked public school. Just to start this off right: I have less than a 3.0 GPA, but I suffered through some serious emotional trauma and overcame outside issues and am seeking help (hence the GPA). As for everything else…</p>

<p>SATI: 2150 CR: 730 M: 710 W: 710
SATII LIT: 750
ACT: 32 R:36 E:32 S:32 M:28 (could be 27 I forget though)</p>

<p>Current year courses:
AP Comparative Gov
Anatomy
Honors Film Studies
Pre-Calculus
French IV
Nutrition</p>

<p>In the past I have taken about 6 honors courses.</p>

<p>ECs:
Senior editor of school paper
Staff on yearbook
Staff on literary magazine
Started Rugby club at school
Regional U19 Rugby team
Internship at a well known cancer institute
Currently work at a rather good university in the area for a different internship
JV Alpine Ski team
I have a part-time job
Film club
Habitat for humanity club
Sustainable garden at school
GSA
I have traveled to DC for multiple marches on Washington and rallies
I started an environmental action network in my area</p>

<p>I’m really worried about applying, because my GPA is in fact SO low. I want to eventually practice medicine. If I do have a chance of getting in, is it best to apply after 1st semester grades come out or mid year grades? </p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>What do you think your class rank will be?</p>

<p>My honest opinion is that, if you can clearly outline the mitigating factors in your gpa, you will get in based on your test scores.</p>

<p>Ohio State, by the way, has a nationally prominent rugby club that you should look into.</p>

<p>My school doesn’t rank :frowning:
My final grade for most classes last year was around a B and this year I’m hoping to do even better but my GPA is still shot. :[</p>
