I am an intelligent student, who has had a lot of hardships during my high school career. Not diving into much detail, but domestic violence, dad out of work due to recession, being from Mexico City, adapting to the United States, all which I went into detail and crafted through my essays. It also seemed, like I really moved my interviewer with my story, background, and plans for the future. I’ve had a lot of extracurricular, Varsity Football, Basketball, Baseball, Track and Field (In Texas) I’ve held 4 different jobs throughout High School, each new one, being basically a promotion. My GPA is a shameful 3.3 weighted 3.0 Un-weighted, I lived in Seattle freshman year and moved to Austin Sophomore year, which added to hardships, but most importantly transferred my grades weirdly (Seattle being a A+, B+, B, B- GPA and Austin being a 100 point scale) which killed my rank. I have an ACT of 30 and 2000 SAT. AP’s being Spanish Language 5 Spanish Literature 4, English Language 4, Physics B 4, AP US History 4, and senior year load with AP Stats, AP Literature Seminar, AP Macroeconomics, AP Microeconomics, art 1, and AP Compsci.
I was wondering if there is any hope, I have already been admitted to Mccombs at UT, Eller at UofA, May’s Texas A&M, TCU, and Baylor.
My parent’s as always, are trying to be encouraging, and always tell me to keep my hopes up, but I find it difficult knowing the caliber of student’s Wharton admits.
any feedback appreciated!!
Thanks
