Congratulations!

I’m planning on applying to the liberal arts program. I got a 1970 on the SAT (but retook it in June, and will receive my scores on Wednesday), and I’ve got probably like a 3.8-9 GPA unweighted, and higher than 4 weighted.

I have really strong ECs - I am interning at HuffPost Live, and am published on HuffPost, I’m going to be leading a Feminist Majority Foundation club in my school, I’ve taken piano for 7 years, etc.

I’ve visited NYU once, and will visit again this summer.

However, I do have a…thing. I was out of school during sophomore year - not my fault - due to really intense family issues. I was NOT ALLOWED to do school, read, write, etc. I know it’s weird…strange situation. However, I did online school (ugh it was awful) and got As, and picked myself up very strongly in 11th grade after returning to school midyear. Even when I was not allowed to read or write, I hid notebooks and pens and made up my own language so I could. It’s a really strange situation and was not my fault, and I’m worried about what colleges will think…

What do you think?
