First Gen URM - Chance me

@cinnamon1212 Thank you so much for this input. I am now thinking of applying to those schools as well, and hopefully my grades won’t be too low to get rejected outright. ADHD is something I can control and handle on my own now without medication, but a smaller school may fit my needs depending on where I see myself in the future and what my plans will be.

@PerformingDude Thank you! I will definitely keep in touch with you, and I wish you luck with your admissions process! You seem like a pretty smart kid, and any university you go to will be absolutely glad to have you.

@Gumbymom I’m going through these stats with my parents at the moment, thanks a ton for this resource.

I have wanted to ask all of you if elite colleges may allow me to go through the next round of admissions if they disregard my previous academic grades. I have had B’s and C’s previously, before the 2nd semester of my 10th-grade year, and although I have raised my unweighted GPA with a plethora of community college courses I don’t know if they will eliminate me based on my past failures; even if ADHD was a factor. What do you guys think?
