Special circumstances: I’ve moved around a lot in my life (across states and countries), and I plan to address this in my essays. I’m currently attending my third high school and tenth school overall, which has made it difficult to participate consistently in extracurriculars. However, it’s also shaped a lot of who I am as a person so I think it adds a cool facet to my application.
