From a purely numerical standpoint, I have nearly no business being considered a prestigious individual by institutions of higher learning, like Knox University. My weighted GPA is a 3.3, my unweighted a 2.93. Hardly impressive. What this application cannot tell you about my GPA is that it is not an accurate reflection of who I am today. My freshman year of high school, I was naive and apathetic towards school. My first semester of school, I had a 1.3 cumulative GPA.
