I think you have a solid chance ED–altho your GPA is on the lower side of things–but is forgivable considering upward trend+legacy.

Start your essays early and try to portray ur ECs in a unique fashion

Thanks, I greatly regret my grades in 9th grade but I really learned from them.

Will your hs send a transcript with grades? What matters is which classes got the lower grades.

Yeah, math and physics unfortunately
