<p>General comments (how you feel, any advice for future applicants, etc):
Honestly, I’m surprised, not to sound cocky. I think what hurt me is that I go to a top boarding school, so I’m naturally going to have a lower GPA than someone at an average public school. They probably didn’t know how to put my GPA into the context of my school. We also have strict rules about the number of classes we can take, as well as the number of APs, so that didn’t help
If this came out a week ago, I’d be sobbing and contemplating suicide right now. However, in the past week, I’ve rethought things. I’m going to Alabama on a full ride, so I have no complaints, no regrets. This is just further proof to me that Bama is where I’m meant to be! (:</p>
