<p>*I have attended 4 different high schools and have encountered private obstacles with relation to my health.</p>

<p>Please don't come here if you're going to say "Your ECs are weak" (so on and so forth) without any supporting information. I WANT criticism - constructive criticism so I can refine my application and my activities. Conversely, do not just say "You look great". I am looking for constructive information. And to reiterate, please keep in mind, these aren't the only schools I am applying to, in fact, I may only apply to one listed. </p>

<p>In short: Cut the crap. I don't want compliments. I don't want flames. I want constructive advice. If you feel as though I forgot something or would like me to provide you with more information, I would be happy to.</p>

<p>What does a 3.5 mean at your school? At Exeter or Andover its fine, at a lesser known public school it puts you totally out of the running. Need more info there.</p>

<p>In short, it's not very good. From the end of sophomore year onward, I had straight A's but earlier I had some legitimately extraneous circumstances (involving moving, my health, and other personal events) that I hope I can work in my favor.</p>
