At the beginning of my junior year, my uw gpa was around a 3.85 and my w gpa was around a 4.62. But during my junior year of high school, I had some family troubles which caused my gpa to drop to a 3.77 uw and 4.51 w. I'm scared that this low gpa will put me at a disadvantage for top schools like MIT, Stanford, etc.
My counselor is going to explain my situation in his recommendation, but will it actually make a difference? Do I still have a shot? My SAT score is a 2320 and am in the top 16% of my class.
