<p>Hi,</p>
<p>My name is Dunia Mohamed. I'm from Maryland. I just got back from visiting ATL, along with the college tour of the campus. I'm pretty sold that Spelman is my number one choice but I fear that my grades/transcript doesn't reflect who I am and my capabilities. I'm trying as much as possible to express that in my essay but it doesn't match the 650 word limit on the Common App. Is there anything you suggest I do? </p>
<p>And should I not get my hopes up because of how low my grades are in comparison? What can I do to make my application stand out.</p>
