<p>During the first two years of my high school career I maintained a 4.0 GPA, but my junior and senior year didn’t turn out so well. I live with my parents, both of whom are disabled, and my two younger brothers. All together my parents bring in 20,000 dollars annually. Because of our situation I began to work night shifts from 9pm to 6am getting to school at 7:30. My senior year I took BC Calculus (took up two classes), Physics C: Mechanics, AP Chemistry, AP Government, AP British Literature and an Engineering course.</p>
<p>I took my SAT and ACT with a 2350 on my SAT and a 36 on my ACT, I passed BC Calculus, Physics C (Mechanics and Electricity and Magnetism) all with a five, and a four on my AP Chemistry test.</p>
<p>However, because of work and having to help take care of my brothers I was stretched too thin and while I absorbed all of the material in my classes I couldn’t keep up with the homework – Did great on the tests – and, sadly I didn’t make the cut. I failed my senior year and got my GED.</p>
<p>I’ve been out of high school for a year.</p>
<p>I still study the things that interest me, though. I’ve worked my way through Landau’s Mechanics volume as well as many other books.</p>
<p>What are my chances of getting into a better than sub par college?</p>
