college admissions help.
so i have a 2.8 gpa
yes i know it is quite terrible but it is that low because i recieved two C's in Latin, and one C in Math.
and i got a 990 out of 2400 on my SATs which is really bad i know,
I want to go to IDC-Hertzaliya and they take 3.4-3.2 GPA but they said thats not 100%.
They said you can write a seperate essay explaining any outside influences that impacted ur bad grades.
my paretns are going through an awful divorce (still are) so i can write about that, and explain how Just latin wasn't my thing, and math is a struggle for me.
i am a really good writer so i think i can produce a really outstanding unique essay-
do you think if i have a good essay it can outweigh my grades and SAT scores?
do i need to re-take the SATS i really don't want to.

I agree with ceejay. Taking the SATs again is always a good idea, even the slightest improvement looks good because it shows that you really tried.
A strong essay, or essays, definitely helps a lot too, so good luck on that, though it is always a combination of many things.
One thing you didn't mention, however, that I would suggest is trying to set up an interview at the school. That always helps and gives you an opportunity to 1. explain some issues and 2. let the school see who you are as a person instead of just on paper.
Good luck! :)

it's possible, but it would help you so much more if you took the SATs over and wrote the essay.I know it's a pain, but not only could you get higher scores, but they will also see how determined you are to go to their college.
best of luck!
