The bad grades were in hospitality classes, back when I had no idea what I wanted to do. I broke up with my boyfriend and he died of a drug overdose a month later during the semester I really screwed up, but I don't want to give them a sob story.
In junior college I made really bad grades (F's & C's), with a smattering of B's and A's. My GPA in CC was a 2.2. Now I am about to be a Junior at a top tier university and my GPA is a 3.65. I have about a year and a half left of UG study and I anticipate having a GPA around 3.7 or so when I apply to Grad school. How much will my horrible past affect my chances of getting into a decent grad program?
