<p>*Disclaimer: I'm so sorry I am writing so much; I'm trying to be as thorough as possible. I can't help it :). I'll be thorough with you, too.</p>

<p>SAT IIs:

<p>Upward trend since Freshman year. Sophomore year was a road bump, with mostly B's and B+'s (my schedule was imbalanced and I was going through a personal situation--didn't complain about this though). Junior year was much better. And Senior year is stellar with five AP classes (B+, A-, A, A, A), band (A+), and chemistry (A).
APs: World (4), USH (3), Psych (5) ... this year: Calc AB, Comp Sci A, US Gov, Lit, and Lang.</p>

...I know I have some more, I write them all down in random places and am feeling incredibly lazy right this moment lol. I do have some, although I don't have 300 or any incredible amount.</p>
<p>Oh, and my essays are very strong. I was careful not to use language that would make me appear pretentious. The language appropriately jives with the content. I didn't get much assistance on them, rather I got feedback deeming them excellent (with a few things to look at) by my two English teachers.</p>
<p>I know this is a long list, and it may look like I'm just trying to add more and more (well, I kind of am :P), but I have been dedicated to most of the things I've tried for at least two years. I'm trying to emphasize that I've been a runner, a tutor/mentor, and an employee.</p>
