<p>I already started a chance thread for all the school I am applying to but am starting this one so it is more specified and accurate, here is my info:</p>
<p>I am in 9th grade at a public school in Arizona, Which is 47th in education , but I am applying to boarding schools for 10th grade. My grades for 7th and 8th grade were A's, B's, and C's, and got one D during 7th grade. I was rejected from a private school which improved my grades improved towards the end of 8th grade. So far In 9th I have all A's and have all honors with a possible GPA of 4.25. I am almost certain I will keep a GPA of 4.25 the whole year.I am able to write essays pretty well.
