Mexican: 159, 2.96.

3.5 gpa during my 4 years at the university, but 2 years at junior college is bringing down my gpa (would gpa addendum help?).
I started my own business 3 1/2 years ago doing taxes and general accounting. Think this will help me at all? I'd like to get into San Diego.

In at Chicago!

Has anyone heard a peep from Harvard. Hold, waitlist, anything? With the holds and rejections that have come out, I'm happy, yet fearful they may have forgotten my file :D

Held on Monday, this is probably giving me an irrational amount of hope right now but whatever. Sent in a 3rd LOR, updated my final UG transcripts, and I will send in an updated resume (new lobbying job) with a LOCI early next week.

Congrats on Chi BTW!
