<p>I know this is long but I’d appreciate it if you’ll read this then answer the question at the end:</p>
<p>I graduated from high school in June 2007 and thank god that I am out of there! I did poorly in high school because I was bullied non-stop. I was harassed verbally not physically. I had very messed up buckteeth with an overbite that caused a slight lisp and my parents couldn’t afford to get me braces until my senior year. My braces are off now, my teeth are perfect it’s amazing the transformation my teeth went through and I don’t get bullied anymore. I didn’t deserve to be bullied. I was a quiet nice kid who never did anything wrong to anyone. I was not a troublemaker. Most of the time when someone made fun of me I wouldn’t say anything back and I think that might be why so many people choose to pick on me cause they knew I wouldn’t do anything. I also developed a nickname which I heard at least 7 times a day 5 days a week. Around 100 students total have made fun of me once throughout my four years of high school. Half of those people picked on me occasionally. I don’t even think there was one single day were I didn’t get bullied. It was horrible. I was constantly tormented. I only had a couple friends. I would usually just sit at home and read books. This bullying caused me to become very unmotivated in school and I didn’t put in a lot of effort I just did the minimum. I hated high school. I just wanted to get my diploma and get the heck outta there. A lot of the classes I did good in were the electives which were easier. My grades deteriorated through my years of high school as the bullying became harder to endure. After my freshmen and sophomore year my cumulative GPA I think was around a 2.6-2.7 then after my junior year it was around a 2.4-2.5. By the start of my senior year I had most of the minimum graduation requirements completed so I slacked off a lot and my cumulative GPA dropped to a 2.1-2.2. Since most of my graduation requirements were fulfilled I started to take a lot of half days from school because I did not want to be there. During my senior year I didn’t have senioritis for me it was called miserableritis.</p>
<p>When I graduated from high school I had no clue what I wanted to do with my future. I knew I would be going to a community college since my high school grades were low and then after two years transfer to a university but I didn’t know what I wanted to major in and since I didn’t know what I wanted to major in I didn’t know which university I would like to go to because the university I’d be interested in would depend on what major I’d like to do. I’m the type of person who likes to have things totally planned out before I start something. Since I didn’t know what I wanted to do in college I decided not to start college right after high school. I got a full time job immediately after I graduated since I was not going to be in school. </p>
<p>In early 2008 I hurt my back and received Vicodin for the pain and I ended up getting addicted to it. Before this I had never taken any type of prescription pain killer before. When I received the Vicodin getting high off of it did not even cross my mind. I was actually against recreational drug use and I still am. My intent for using the Vicodin was strictly to relieve my back pain. The first dose I took was a completely normal dose and I actually ended up feeling a high off of it and once you feel that high from Vicodin theres a good chance youll get hooked onto it. Thats what happened to me it was unexpected. Vicodin is very addicting and I wish I would have known that when I took it but I didn’t know much about it. The only other drug I have done is marijuana, I tried it once in high school and did not like it. I’ve only drank alcohol a few times and it’s been over a year since I last drank it. I continued to work my full time job.</p>
<p>In late 2009 I decided I wanted to study architecture and become an architect. I registered to start at the local community college and started my first semester, Spring 2010, in January 2010 two and a half years after graduating from high school. Towards the mid point of my first semester I decided to quit Vicodin and I became very sick going through withdrawals. Vicodin withdrawals are very severe, one of the worst things someone will go through in life. I was so sick I couldnt handle it so I ended up taking some Vicodin so I would feel better but I did not go back to using it daily like I was before. I was just using it occasionally I would take a low dose once or twice a week, I cut back on it a lot, and the dose was so low for me I wasnt even getting high off it, it would just make me feel better for the day and then the days I didnt take Vicodin Id be pretty sick and I didn’t take it a lot. It was like this for most of 2010. In mid November 2010 towards the end of the Fall semester I finally got my health insurance back(I had been terminated off my dads insurance after high school because I was not in college) so I could go to a doctor and get prescription medication that is used to treat Vicodin withdrawals and help you get clean. It takes the withdrawals completely away. I have been clean off Vicodin since mid November 2010. I attended college full time in Spring 2010 then Fall 2010 semesters and did poorly each semester because of the Vicodin withdrawals. I received around a 1.50 GPA each semester. My cumulative GPA after Fall 2010 was a 1.52. It’s low but to tell you the truth it’s pretty darn good for what I went through. I received two “A-”, a “B”, a “C”, a “D” and three “F”. I haven’t attended school since Fall 2010. I took time off to get better. I also lost interest in architecture and have gained a lot of interest in filmmaking. This is for sure what I want to do. I plan on starting back up at the local community college this fall. I am 100% healthy. I know I can get at least a 3.7 GPA. I live in Michigan and I’d really like to get out of the state and transfer to USC and try to get into there film production program.</p>
<p>Let’s say I get at least a 3.7 GPA this Fall 2012 semester then I apply to USC by February 1, 2013 and I get at least a 3.7 GPA in Spring 2013. Based on all the extenuating circumstances I’ve had in the past do you think there’s a chance I can get accepted to USC and start there in Fall 2013? Or do you think I will need to do an extra year before trying to transfer?</p>
