Extensive community service with various band functions as well.</p>
<p>I kinda slacked off my freshman and sophomore years, and struggled with Pre-Cal and Adv. Chem. as a freshman, getting a C in both, thus lowering my GPA drastically. I improved a bit Sophomore year, and Junior year was my year of redemption, getting all A's with AP/IB classes, and I plan on getting all A's again this year (all weighted courses).</p>
<p>Thanks for your opinions!</p>
