Chance Me - URM

Thank you all for the comments! I didn’t take offense to any of them as I’m grateful everyone on this thread is telling the truth. I’m taking community college courses during the summer, increasing my GPA to a 3.75 and my class rank to being ranked 3rd in my class, now having some really interesting internships that will allow me to get some research published, jumpstarted my company to brand new heights, and created a device that are being looked at by giants like Apple! I’ve also narrowed down my school list to Duke, Harvard, Stanford, UCLA, UC Berkeley, and Dartmouth (these are my reaches; safeties and matches are already accounted for). These schools are schools I’m particularly interested in, and I’m well aware that my chances are slim due to my academics; but I hope to try anyway. Nowhere on my application will it state anything to do about me having ADHD (don’t want AOs to have another reason to reject me); and my essays will display my passion of poetry (by being poetic) in relation to neuroscience. Thank you everyone for giving me your best effort and love when writing these posts!
