- I brought up a bad 2.8 GPAFreshman year because of trama with my granparents dying . Directly after my grades increase significantly.
Do I stand a chance of getting some good merit aid? Should I join the University Honors? am I a somewhat competitive applicant ? what do you recommend I do this year, to improve my chances for scholarships Next year?
