<p>Dying to get in, fell in love with Annenberg. Will have a dreadful cumulative GPA because of certain circumstances, moved countries after 7th grade. Between middle school and high school, have been in 3 different schools. Dad stayed in country previously in, so separated from him for 4 years with a few visits here and there. Won't go too much into detail but basically having to adapt to that countries' schooling system for 3 years in 2 different schools before transferring to the international school in the city because there were no places for my grade available, and the fact that I moved houses twice, the second of which was 2 hours away from the second school I attended for two years, depressed me to a very large extent. I probably sound like a brat, but I don't know how else to put it. Also since for freshman + sophomore year my school was so far away from my house, the rents didn't let me do any EC's, too much driving if I was to be committed etc.. </p>
