Thank you for the response! I was assuming my circumstances freshman year could partially explain my lower GPA, which is kind of a bummer atm. I have a 9th grade 3.42 UW n/a W, 10th 4.0 UW n/a W, and 11th 3.92 UW 4.59 W. Would Vandy and Rice not care about my additional info section?
Also, do you think ED1 Emory would be doable? Kind of weighing my options atm. I don’t have an issue with the cost for any of these schools, but I also would prefer to go to UCLA. I intend on going through the premed track, and I know schools like Rice, Vandy, and Emory are all a bit better than UCLA for premed due to their class sizes.
