I have one simple question to ask you, I passed freshman year in high school with an 80 average, in sophmore year, it slunk down to and 75. My first term of my junior, my average went up to a 78 but only because of circumstances I could not forsee. This term i will most likely recieve an average of 85, with a 90 in an AP course. With a track record like this, what kind of colleges do I have any chance of getting into?
