I was a business major at Ole Miss for 48 credits until the fall of 2017. A close friends death caused me to re-evaluate my life and I became a political science major. Since then my grades have been outstanding. Unfortunately I’ll be applying to UMass with a 2.85 gpa and 63 credits, but on an upward trend. And by the end of the spring semester 2018 should be above a 3.0. I have good references, one from an elected official. And have participated in lots of extra curriculars, worked multiple jobs, volunteered, and helped political campaigns.
