<p>I also have a form of epilepsy which caused a lot of health problems my first two years of high school. I plan to make a personal statement though. My gpa went down just a little from freshman to sophomore year because that was the year my health problems were the worst. I was bumped down into regular geometry ( I was in Alg 1 honors fresh year) and I got a C+ in honors chemistry (it was AP level). I was put into regular physics at the beginning of this year. I did so well that my teacher asked me to tutor other students and then she moved my up to honors physics. I also have an immense amount of family history at Villanova University. My gpa would be higher if I didn't have many health problems my first two years. Like I said, I plan to explain that to admissions. </p>
<p>The reason my epilepsy was so bad was because my neurologists originally misdiagnosed the kind, so I was on the wrong medication for 4 years. Eventually, when I ended up in the hospital for the 3rd time, a different neurologist examined me and put me on the right medication and I am well again! I'm doing much better in school (went from A's and B+'s freshman year, A's, B+s, and one C+ my sophomore year, to straight A's my junior year)</p>
<p>If I am able to choose my own essay topic I plan to write about how i overcame the obstacles that my epilepsy caused.</p>
<p>What are my chances of getting into the business school? If you really want to go above and beyond in your answer, scale from 1-10 please. Thanks!</p>
