<p>I'm a U.S Permanent Resident going to school overseas, so I might be considered international depending on the school. I'm also an IB Diploma Candidate, so I am taking challenging courses: English A1 HL (7), History HL (6), ITGS HL (6), Environmental Studies SL (4-ouch i know), Math Studies SL (6), Chinese B SL(5) and Theory of Knowledge (A). I am a bad test taker but I'm a hard worker, I'm looking into some SAT optional schools like Mount Holyoke, Hamilton, Pitzer and Union.</p>
