<h2>I attend a competitive private school in nyc. My school does not class rank or calculate a GPA, so i'll just post my grades in my various classes. Also, I expect to graduate cum laude (top percentage of the class). It should be known that my school doesn't offer ap english or ap history classes, though it offers the tests and many students choose to self study for them. The most courses a student can possibly is 7 (usually 6 academic courses and one art). Finally, I will be pursuing becoming a National Merit Finalist (I think I have a god shot).</h2>
