Will be working hard on college essays this summer. The freshman and sophomore weighted gpa tanks my overall, but I don’t know how colleges will react to it as it was three-four years ago. My junior/senior gpa should be well around a 4.4-4.5. I also didn’t play any sports which is also a drawback. Planning to ED to Stern.
