<p>chance a bro for ivies: good ec's, high test scores
Hi to all,</p>
<p>Background: I'm a junior at a top Illinois public school. I skipped the second and third grades but went back a grade for athletics when I transferred to a public middle school. My ADHD really affected my freshman and sophomore years as it went untreated, but with medication I've really been able to buckle down and get some decent work done.</p>
<p>Ethnicity: Hispanic</p>
<p>GPA: (W on 5.00 scale, since classes were all honors/AP)
Freshman--3.80 (My freshman year was completely mediocre--see above--with a 3.80/5.00 while in all honors classes. I think that was mostly due to the ADHD, an elongated acclimation period and my immaturity compared to my peers.)
Sophomore--3.70
Junior--4.20 (first sem)</p>
<p>Class Rank: somewhere in the top 10 or 11%</p>
<p>AP's: Junior--AP English Lang/Comp , APUSH
