Being Asian will not affect your application. </p>

<p>Your hardship could help you if you are able to put it together with your interests, passions, and activities in your essay in an enticing way.</p>

<p>Your GPA is obviously going to be a problem but if it is your dream school, go ahead and apply because you never know. Here is the latest freshman profile to compare your grades and test scores:

<p>Don’t discount the idea of a transfer. Take a year or two to get your life in order at a community college and apply as a transfer student. Your dream can come true. </p>

<p>Good luck.</p>
