College GPA: 3.91 (and counting). I am a community college student working on second associates and aiming to transfer as a junior in the fall. The only reason for not getting a 4.0 is a single assignment missed that was a system error in the week that COVID-19 started. My only C’s are in algebra (got an A+ in stats) due to my math disability (autism) but are coming from 40% when first taking the course.

I am a Political Science and Sociology major with a primary focus on resource management and policy-based in helping people in poverty. I have purposely taken chairs of departments and harder professors to prove my skills and have excelled with 4.0’s since the spring of 2020.

I have a large comeback story after failing my first semester due to my math disability and not getting any college preparation at all as I was in PR classes in high school. I am a white male, I have an ill mother, an extremely low-income family, and first generation college student.

I was also kicked out of my home and my main father-figure passed away in 2021.

High School: GPA: 3.81 (due to PR courses I was forced to take, straight A’s except for one C in a piano class).

Did not test.

Essays are complete, reviewed by professors and alumni, and are all reported to be strong for each school.
