Here are my stats:
UW 3.79 W 4.18
SAT 2020 (Will retake and hopefully get 2200+)
AP Scores:
AP Chinese 5
AP Music Theory 4
AP World History 4
AP Environmental Science 4
AP Psychology 3
I know my stats are pretty low for these schools but here is the reason why: I moved to USA three years ago from China and technically speaking I’m still an English learner.
I took some of the most rigorous courses at my school, include AP sciences,'AP world history, and honors European literature. Those classes are really hard for me and no matter how hard I study I can only get B+ in some of the courses. I don’t know if colleges will understand I worked really hard for that 3.79, but since my school is really competitive and everyone has good grade, I’m afraid I will be compared with other students from my school.
