Hi Paideia,

I am not very good at assessing someone’s chances for getting into CMC. Obviously, your GPA is low, but it sounds like you have a plausible reason for the low grades. I think if you could have your guidance counselor say something about this in your application, it would be helpful. Also, the huge upward trend should mitigate to some degree the negative perception of underperforming in high school.

If you can make a good case why you would be a good fit for CMC in your application, I think your chances would improve immeasurably. Do you have a specific area you would like to study? The more specific you can be about what it is you want to get out of your college experience, the greater your chances of gaining admission to CMC.

BTW, welcome to CC.
