Low GPA, High ACT. Chances?

<p>Oh, my senior schedule looks like this: </p>

<p>-AP Prob and Stats
-Spanish IV
-Honors Cultural Anthropology
-Tao in Thought and Lit
-Honors Humanities I and II
-Ecology
-Honors Philosophy
And the required:
-Comp Apps I
-Lifeguarding</p>

<p>It’s pretty much the hardest I can take. I exhausted most of my AP classes this year and the only ones left to take, I’ve already taken the tests for. Besides, the honors humanities and anthropology are much harder than many of the AP classes at my school. The only thing I could’ve taken harder was my science. I could’ve taken honors physics, but to be honest, I don’t like physics and I chose instead to take another literature course (Tao in Thought and Lit) because that is much more interesting to me than physics. Ecology at my school is very writing and research based which is why I chose that and Tao over physics. </p>

<p>And as for why I enjoy Reed, it just strikes me so much as somewhere that you can actually LEARN and not just earn grades. I enjoy learning for the sake of learning, which is why I have self-studied Latin and done extensive projects on ancient history (which I could’ve earned school credit for, but I didn’t do it for school, I did it for me). There are other reasons, but that’s just the major one. </p>

<p>My recommendations are going to come from my Spanish and World History teacher. My Spanish teacher knows the most about my past (there is more to it than simply what I put here) and my World History teacher knows how passionate I am about learning. I did many independent projects with her throughout the year and we developed a close relationship.</p>

<p>I am going to schedule an interview very soon, but with my dad in and out of the hospital, it is very difficult to be able to pick a day to do an interview :(.</p>
