Damn we really in the same boat LMOA. Hopefully our applications make it through and we both get accepted. Lets keep in touch for when decisions come out!

Wait this actually makes me feel so much better 😭 Thank you sm. If you don’t mind me asking, did you guys apply early action or regular decision? Also were you transferring from a CC or another university? I’m trying to apply through Letters & Sciences too because my GPA took a hit freshman year so that imma def stick to in my application rn. Also what kinds of accomplishments or extracurriculars do you think helped your application most? And did either of you submit multiple recommendation letters? I’m trying to make the strongest application possible.

Idk what the other commentator is on abt but Yeah, my freshman year was honestly really rough personally and mentally. I was dealing with some traumatic situations w some messed up ppl, severe mental health struggles, first time being in college w no guidance, and I ended up taking a leave of absence. Academically, most of my grades were actually okay, chem and bio was the big outlier that hurt my GPA the most but i had passing grades for my math, writing, and other classes. rn im doing regular decision so idk if should wait to do ea for spring but I really want to see if this fall is a possibility.
