<p>So based on my research into the transfer process for WUSTL, I’ve been led to understand that they have a “holistic” admissions process, which I gathered to mean that they evaluate each student individually, not just based on GPA and numbers. WUSTL has always been my dream school, and I’m an intelligent guy, but I have had a crazy life; raising my three autistic siblings while taking care of my mother because she is disabled and my dad is a deadbeat who frequently bailed, while trying to work to take care of her and finish high school. So my grades dropped at the end of high school, and I took a few years off before trying to go back to school. I’m still taking care of my siblings and my mother, working, and raising my own child, but I finally got started on my education at Community College. My GPA is at 3.9, but my concern is that I simply don’t have time for extracurricular activities and things like that. So my question is, given my individual circumstances, with a strong essay, and if I keep my GPA strong, do I stand any kind of chance of transfer admission to WUSTL? Or will my lack of extracurricular activities and poor high school GPA be severely detracting factors? Thanks very much and sorry for the long read.</p>
<p>Bump. Anyone?</p>
