misc info (for anyone wanting to read):
-I know my EC’s are weak
my GPA in junior year kind of tanked and I have 3 B+'s right now lol (all of them in my AP’s), so W is only around 4.2
I have personal reasons that I think will be legit in the additional info section, but I don’t know if it’s worth explaining for B+'s. I’ve also had 2 B+'s from 9th & 10th grade
- probably not gonna get any brownie points for this, but I am born in China and moved here around 5th/6th grade, so I had a big language barrier. I think I'll talk about this if a supplement essay ever asks about background etc. but I have US citizenship now so I don't think it'll be anything too special
