<p>Sup, I plan on double majoring in Government and Economics for my pre-law degrees. I’m a white male from rural Pennsylvania. My high school sends maybe 1-2 people a year to Ivy League, and sometimes none. </p>
<p>My parents announced their separation a week before I started my freshman year, which severely impacted my grades. Then a close friend of mine killed herself when I was in 10th grade, which also impacted my grades for a bit. But I got through all of that and got a 4.0 junior year, which gave me an upward trend.</p>
