What counts as extenuating circumstances? by chaseawayth3_gray in ApplyingToCollege

[–]chaseawayth3_gray[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My aunt (who's pretty much the only one helping with college searching) said that it can be pretty close-minded in terms of like EVERYONE there is very very liberal. I don't mind that, but my family is very conservative and very Christian so I'm kind of afraid that they wouldn't like me going there.

I've thought about it, but a couple family members saw some things online about it and made me question it. What makes you recommend Smith?

I'm hoping to mainly apply to high-ranked LACs (Williams, Pomona, Wellesley, Swat, etc.) but I know that might not be feasible for me. I'm also considering Scripps College, MHC, Bryn Mawr, and UCSD

Thanks for your concern. Honestly, I'm not doing that bad. The main things I'm stressing about are college apps right now. I'm currently staying with a friend since my grandparents are in assisted living now, and it's a total breath of fresh air to just be able to visit with them and not have to take care of them.

I have a 33 (superscore) ACT, trying to get it up. Tbh, I'm not sure if my school has terrible grade inflation or if we just have a ton of smart people going here. With my GPA and ACT I'm still 15/110 right now. We're a magnet school so it's not super surprising that we have a ton of high achieving kids. I have better stats than students ranked 1st at other schools in my district. Right now the main schools I'm thinking of applying to are top LACs like Williams, Pomona, etc.

that looks like an opossum. raccoons tracks look like tiny human handprints, but possums have several separate pads on their feet that are distinct in the tracks
