<p>I have a 2.68 GPA. I know its bad, but this was mainly due to my mother dying freshman year and my fathers debilitating state after her death. I had a 2.0 freshman yr, a 2.65 sophmore yr, a 3,259 junior yr, and a 3.67 senior yr (so far)
1800 sat- 580 R and M 630 W
2 teacher recommendations, one counselor recommendation, 2 community service advisor reccomendations
my counselor and one community service advisor included what happened in their recommendation letters
Participated in Red Ribbon Club, Red Cross Club, worked various jobs, raised $2000 and built a school in Malawi through the BuildOn program, created a subdivision of Habitat For Humanity, and did alot of other community service projects</p>

<p>ANY advice or feedback would help alot…</p>

<p>Some schools don’t count your grades in the 9th grade. You might try to identify them.</p>

<p>Also, you might consider applying to the United Kingdom, where I understand they go mainly by SAT scores and AP test scores.</p>

<p>But as the previous poster said, it really depends on where you are applying.</p>

<p>I would guess that if you are applying to a smaller private college, they would take your circumstances more into account than at a giant state university, where they are more likely to just crunch the numbers.</p>
