To tell you about myself

I have a 2.2 left over from a rather poor preformence
throughout Freshman year but I’ve preformed decent in my studies since and it shows a strong upward trend. However math has keep me back in many ways from reaching my true potential due to a learning disability in math In addition I will have three AP classes under my belt. In terms of EC’S I will have to put on my application the Cambridge College Programme, in which I did exceedingly well as I made all A’s in my classes as well as getting the de facto recommendations of two Cambridge Professors who are fairly high profile in the sense of them being accomplished academics as well as to having wrote some books as well, also in terms of EC I will have debate to put on there in addition to Cambridge. Also I have written and have had published some History articles on community based history websites. Also I have an internship with one of the Presidential Campaigns and some volunteer work with them and other political campaigns as well Lastly I also preform well in interviews.

From the colleges I’ve visited some like Bridgewater College and George Mason in my home state of Virginia which is middle of the road/fairly easy to get into have said little chance to me pretty much in terms of getting admitted just as an example, while some more selective colleges and universities like Gettysburg, Occidental, and Lawrence have been completely open to me in terms of admission.

So this has been fairly interesting to me in the college and university search and selection process.
