I feel like I have no chance at all with my 1st semester soph grades…

I’ll major in English Literature btw. My two poor grades were in math/science…so maybe they’ll excuse them…

And for anyone who’s wondering, I’m taking a gap year so that I can get my recs from National Geographic.

EDIT: I’ll apply EA btw!!! and I’m really passionate about my ECs.
