<ul>
<li>My grades are extremely low because I had to take a lot of time off sophomore and junior year to help my mom's business to support the family here and in China. I did not mention it in my application because I didn't want to seem whiny, but my counselor will mention it.</li>
<li>2nd generation Chinese immigrant.</li>
<li>Did not study or take classes for SAT or ACT</li>
<li><p>My rank is also low because IB curriculum there are SL classes and HL classes, Sl classes generally easier to get a grade, and I'm taking all HL classes. </p></li>
