<p>Well you have some good things going for you and some not so good. The latter would include declining pattern of grades and trouble in math. At the CGA you will be taking a lot of math and science-related courses.</p>

<p>What about SAT’s? Have you taken them? </p>

<p>Overall I would say you would be decent but not grade candidate for admission. Good luck!</p>
