Member of a Speakers Bureau for nationally recognized hospital - several years and have spoken to audiences of up to 1000.

Volunteer at hospital.

Attend very competitive private school. Have not been able to take any AP classes as they have not been offered to me due to mostly B grades. Survived high risk cancer (treated for over 3 years)- suffered some cognitive problems with processing speed and working memory but can hold my own in classes getting mostly B’s and B+'s. I sometimes have difficulty with multiple choices tests but am a very strong writer. I would really like to attend a small liberal arts college and some of my favorites are:

Elon
Skidmore
Lehigh
Lafayette
Fordham
University of Santa Clara
University of Richmond
Wheaton (Mass)
Connecticut College
Boston College
Holy Cross
American University

Please chance me for any or all of the above. I realize that most of these are reaches - due to my GPA, but any thoughts or guidance would be appreciated. Also - please feel free to suggest other options that might be a good fit.

Desired majors - Communications or Business
Thanks a lot!
