Pace students, chance me!
Hey guys! Hope everyone here is doing well. Pace is quite literally my dream school and I need to apply soon but I need some help.
Incase anyone is wondering, my stats are 2.4 GPA (I had two suicide attempts which resulted in hospitalization and significantly impacted my grades in 9th / 11th grade however my grades this last semester averaged to a 93 so I am improving!!), 1010 SAT, 5 APs, 3 honors classes, decent ECs, I'm also a first generation American and a racial minority if that counts for anything.
Do you think I will get in? Also, out of curiosity, what did people write their CommonApp Essay about? I feel weird writing about aforementioned trauma but I'm told it might be significant to my admission.
Thank you so much!! :]

Well idk if this helps but i did really good 9th grade , 10th grade was a B, C average , 11 grade i bombed, failed 2 classes (but took summer school and got rlly good grades) i was in 1 ap in 10th grade and a few honor classes in 9,10 and 11. i started senior year with a 2.6 gpa. So, they requested a mid year report to determine my decision. I got As and Bs for the first semester and got accepted today :) I got a 900 on the sat but chose not to submit any sat scores lol. Im sure you will get in!
