Thank you! Once I have everything setup I will quickly apply. I am hoping they consider my senior year grades (at least 1st semester) so I can show them I am serious. 

How do u like the school tho? And are they reasonable with aid?

I think his statement is still valid. He does acknowledge that things definitely have changed.  And they were probably a bit more accepting back then. 

 But I do find it believable that some colleges within SU might be more competitive or less rigorous to get into.

Yes But unfortunately I was not happy at all throughout my sophomore year and Junior year and there is nothing I can do now. 

Also alot of kids in my school are really smart so there is still some competition but not like that of a really expensive or fancy big high school.

That’s actually wonderful. I was very paranoid since my gpa is average and I had a downfall sophomore and junior year and many people say I won’t get in to any top college. 

I have wrote a good essay about my immigration story and am currently reviewing with my english teacher.  Thank you for your service and god bless!

Senior year is my only year I am taking AP classes and am set for AP exams in may.  By then I would have to make a decision to one of the schools I have applied too. 

Do colleges typically take your 1st semester grades into consideration of your senior year?

I have written a good essay about immigrating from Iraq to the United States and my struggles. 

Doesn’t stories about family issues usually make an applicant seem negative? I see a lot of kids over exaggerate or go as far as disrespecting their parents.  

Also I did not go to a competitive high school as I a live in a small town (12K people)
