<p>I attended a private school for the gifted that had an IQ requirement for grades 5 through 8, at which I took high school classes beginning in 6th grade.</p>
<p>I skipped my sophomore year of high school (over this past summer).</p>
<p>I took AP Physics B and Precalc as a freshman, and I am currently taking AP Physics C and BC Calc as a Junior.</p>
<p>Note: My school doesn't rank at all. That class rank above is an estimate of questionable accuracy.</p>

<p>My situation concerning my GPA is a little bit weird. After 8th grade, I switched into public school and got terrible grades, a 3.2. After that year, I was skipped ahead to 11th grade. In eleventh grade, I have been getting better grades. My public school will not integrate my 4.0 GPA from 8th grade (which was all high school classes) into my cumulative GPA, but I factored it into my GPA here.</p>
<p>I'm not sure how I will present it when I apply or how the colleges will look at it.</p>
<p>I am now a junior.</p>
<p>If worst comes to worst and I feel that I need another year to improve my GPA or anything, it will probably not be very difficult for me to go back to my former grade. (will this look bad?)</p>
