<p>My courses arent the most rigorous but I always did my best to take part in extra activities in and out school to make up for. The reason for lack of honor courses is because I heavily fooled around 8th grade and none of my teachers liked me. But i went through a severe change in the summer with counseling and mentors giving me advice and made the best out of my present courses.
Schools I would love to go to.
NYU Stern.
Uni of Michigan.
etc.
Can you guys recommend some schools that I would be interested in.?</p>
