Hello! Thank you to everyone who will spend the time reading this. I am really lost on where to ED to, and I feel as if my GPA is my main thing holding me back. For some context, in my freshman and sophomore year, I had weak limbs so I went to physical therapy a lot-- resulting in me missing school. I had a good GPA freshman year, but sophomore year really plummeted (I even had a C+ in chemistry). Junior year I have a 4.0. I never knew about a 504 plan until this year-- sucks! I would really love to have advice on if I’m being too unrealistic and any ideas on which colleges would suit my application best? (Higher SAT score, lower GPA, decent EC’s)
