<p>I am a first-gen immigrant from China(or FOB, it's okay I'm used to it). Due to my proficiency in English, my school did not let me to take a foreign language in my freshmen year and I had to take regular English in my fresh and sopho years. (My biggest disadvantage since my peers took honors and AP English) Knowing that I'm behind, I skipped pre-calc and took AP Calc AB in my sophomore year. (Less than 5 people were able to do this in a class of 700+)</p>
<p>My English was really bad when I came to the States, so I had to work my way up; it was tough and learning English really impeded me from doing something else thats more useful.</p>
<p>I've heard that being an immigrant is actually an advantage when you're applying to colleges, so please take that into consideration! Thanks :)</p>
