@ThePariah I feel you have a good chance of being admitted, contrary to others beliefs. You’ve taken an above average course load in terms of course rigor. You have an upward GPA trend, and Ross gives some leeway to first semester grades due to college adjustment process. While your extracurriculars aren’t as strong in comparison to the average (70% of applicants are involved in 3+ clubs), I feel your essays are genuine, and true to Ross’ ideals with a non-profit, positive business attitude, which is backed by your willingness to tutor, community service, etc. Ross likes to have diversity among admissions, not just all finance oriented individuals.
