For a low GPA student, how much will impact an excellent first sem. senior year have?

<p>And, by the by, the reason they’d accept someone with such a glaring comparative weakness would be for his or her potential, or because they were far more interesting or brought more to the proverbial table than the typical East Asian/4.0/2300/hospital volunteer applicant. That’s it. Please don’t act like you could possibly discourage me from applying somewhere I know I could contribute, when you haven’t even gone through the same things I have. Thanks, boo</p>
