*Is there anything I should do to be a more attractive applicant?
*Will admissions give me a break for my less than desirable grades sophomore year, when I was dealing with personal issues that interfered with my achievement?
* I want to major in Philosophy, perhaps minor in English or Literature. I live in CA, but am willing to look at out of state schools. Any recommendations?
*Anything else?
Also, I went to a very competitive private school for grades 9 and 10, then transferred to a charter school, which is the highest performing public high school in the state. (I heard that what high school you attend matters)
