I’m a junior right now. I’m planning on applying to Trinity College Dublin.
Freshman year I got a 3.8 gpa unweighted. And this year I’m predicting to get 3.66-3.75.
But sophomore year I got a 3.4 unweighted. My mom passed away that year which sent me into depression. So I didn’t have the best of the year.
If I write and essay and ask my College Counselor to say this, will Trinity look at this and accept me (I have good ACT and SAT scores, 5 APs classes, and many extracurriculars).
