<p>I've always taken the most rigorous courses available to me. My poor GPA is a result of my freshman and sophomore year not being taken seriously. Debate and football was where all my time went. I also had narcolepsy that wasn't fixed until now. There is a definite upward trend however, and I'm poised for a 4.0 this semester (2nd -Jr), bc I fixed the narcolepsy. I'm successful at debate and passionate about charities (I'm not just saying that like some people do)</p>

<p>Chances?</p>

<p>Sorry-No Stanford! Not with a 3.3.</p>

<p>Maybe. Stanford does not look at Freshman GPA. Submit quarterly reports if the trends are upward and show even more dramatically that way. Are you ranked in debate?</p>

<p>How successful was your charity?
Though you have a 3.3, you showed an upward trend which is good. You can also explain your situation in the Additional Info part of the CommonApp</p>
