  • Application cycles: 2010
  • Demographics: Male, East Asian
  • Home state: Rhode Island
  • Brief Profile: I'm a Bio major with a minor in Fine Arts. My family is planning to move to Florida, so I guess I'll have a better chance there once they're the state residence. I'm planning to apply after I graduate. There's nothing really outstanding about my app...so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    GPA:
    +Freshmen:
    Summer (6 credits): 2.85

    Summer (3 crd): 3.3
    Fall (14 crd): 2.83

    +Junior:
    Summer (9 credits): 3.9
    Fall (13 crd): 3.55
    Spring (19 crd): 3.69

    As you can see...There's an upward trend but it's kind of too late. I started picking it up after my sophomore year. Oh well...
