Admitted to Emory University…but i was more than happy with a 170 and wanted to apply KJD so decided to roll with it. GPA: went from 3.98 to 4.0 halfway through my cycle thanks to fall semester grades. communication-esque B.A. at a relatively prestigious public university with a minor in english lit. total of 3 ‘withdraw’ grades over 4 years of…

…not sure how sympathetic schools were to my story. I’m a KJD so this only happened 2 years prior to me sending my applications.

However, I am a first-generation college student with 2 majors (STEM + business-related), which maybe helped me standout a little bit, but…
