<p>Hardship:
My parents got divorced when i was 8 years old, and ever since then I have had to change schools and states every 6 months. Throughout high school i've gone to 6 different schools (1 online.) During my entire sophomore year, i went through a long and terrible custody battle that eventually ruled in my favor, but not before ruining my relationship with my dad. By the beginning of junior year, my dad finally moved to where i was living from Arkansas (part of the agreement made in court.) I really dislike my dad and we got in an argument one day and he assaulted me. Anyways, this whole situation was really stressful and i will explain it in my essays.</p>

<p>Considering your circumstances and stellar test scores, I say you have a pretty good chance. Just make sure to explain the AP situation at your school and nail the essays.</p>

3

<p>How do you have a 4.0 when you got a 3.8 your freshman year… Lol that makes no sense.</p>

<p>Anyways, say you have a 4.0 somehow and got a 35 on your ACT and with your divorce situation I would say these schools are low reaches for you.</p>

4

<p>Columbia ed, mit ea, uchicago are all reaches due to their selectivity. But I see you are a good candidate. </p>

<p>You need some matches and safeties.</p>

5

<p>lol, AP Calc AB/BC, AP chemistry, AP CS, and AP biology “over the summer.” </p>

<p>Alright.</p>
