<p>I'm kind of trying to figure out where I'm at, so could you chance me? Also do you think that being "well-rounded" is important. Because looking at my resume, I don't come off as well rounded. I have a passion for exchange and cultures and, and I'm wondering if will hurt me if that's all colleges see on my application.</p>

<p>Kind of complicated/not really important:
Because the school year in Japan is April - March, I left for my 11th grade exchange in March of 10th grade, which meant that when I came back, I had to finish my 10th grade courses. Apparently according to "school policy" since I was an 11th grader when I finished those courses, on my transcript now it looks like I took 10th grade in 11th and went on exchange during 10th. So, I guess there will be a cover letter from my guidance counselor to explain this, do think colleges will be understanding?</p>
<p>Also I think the cover letter will probably address a drop in my GPA due to some family issues (legitimate)</p>
