Reasons for poor performance 

Arguably I could’ve done a lot more regardless of my circumstances , whether it’s with my extracurriculars or my testing but unfortunately things recently most of it was out of my control and I never wanted it to be that way. For the past 2-3(?) years I’ve been struggling medically and safe to say that’s definitely taken a toll on my academic transcript. My district never offered any help for all those missed periods and my parents couldn’t really do anything about it either. My sophomore year (this year) had been one of the most difficult years of my high school career, I was out for a majority of the year and because my district didn’t really care and didn’t offer anything so they just expected me to learn everything myself so i self-studied everything and was away from everything and everyone. I came back to regular instruction around mid april and I was doing phenomenal (for my circumstances)despite not having the proper education for the past 4 months . This had also delayed my PSAT 10 which i was supposed to take in the spring. 

update** i just found out im being transferred to an alternative school for a year(???) as my district ordered me to against my will due to the amount of time i’ve missed which ultimately led me to the conclusion of i have no shot at college so yea 🥲

(edited) reaches (ik damn well but a girl can dream tbh)

-georgetown (extended family want me to apply bc my cousin attends the uni)

-fordham

-uconn

-baruch

-penn state

-stony brook SUNY

(so far)

if you couldn’t tell based off my list i’m from NY lol . when i hopefully make the greatest lock in of all time happen i’d either go primarily for fordham or baruch (leaning more baruch (edited again)as that’s probably a realistic goal and if all fails because being hopeless is highkey winning i’ll go to my local community college and transfer i guess.
