<p>my gpa is extremely low for those schools, but hopefully
that might be understandible after i explain a few things.
starting first semester of my soph year, some severe
family issues came into play and had lasted for a long
time. it only hit me hardest at first, so i've been able to
keep a pretty good upward trend afterwards. how much
does this really help in my overall evaluation?? im
xtremely worried about this.</p>

<p>my entire high school grade by each semester is
something like:
fresh: 97, 99
sophomore 79, 90
junior 91, 96
senior: 102, not done yet</p>

<p>i also took the hardest courses possible</p>
