<p>I remember talking with a Yale admissions officer who told me that they want to hear about things like sickness, family deaths, etc etc that affect your school. So I’m guessing that if you explain it they’ll be fine with your situation. Do your grades show an upward trend? If so, that helps a lot, it shows you’re working and sticking with it.
Your SAT scores are average and not particularly outstanding … I think GT and UVA are going to be your reaches. You’ll get into at least 2 or 3 of the other places you listed
