<p>Anomalies:
I got a C+ in French sophomore year, hence the GPA suck. I was put into a French class one level too high, and changing it = dropping AP Computer Science AB. I stuck with it, and progressed from a D- to a B+. My counselor plans to send them a transcript of my quarterly grades showing my progression, so hopefully that will help. It’s the only C grade I have.</p>

<p>apathy, since you are retaking the SAT in November, you might wanna work on raising that Writing score as much as possible. Wesleyan’s scores are pretty high in all three sections, so you might just wanna even out the scores all in the mid-700 to high-700 range. If you have any questions at all about the Writing Section, ask me. :)</p>
