My stats are 3.83 gpa and 25 ACT

However, I had a major gastrointestinal illness that caused me to undergo over 35 procedures and surgeries. I spent so much time at the doctors, hospital, testing. Since my illness affected me, I finished my high school 50% by physically attending high school and 50% through independent study programs.

My illness affected my ability in testing. My freshmen grades were bad because of my health, otherwise I did well.

My health didn’t allow me to take too many AP courses. However, I did try my best.

However, I feel my extracurriculars were great.

Attended Northwestern University CTD summer program. Earned A grade in Hons. Constitutional Law Course. Evanston, IL.
