Additional Information:
-Grades dipped pretty low in 10th grade due to the death of a beloved teacher and lack of resources for dealing with this in school context
-Currently dealing with a few medical issues, including a connective tissue disorder that causes frequent joint dislocation, a possible heart abnormality, asthma, and various allergies, which has caused a lot of absences from school for medical care
-My guidance counselor doesn’t seem to know where I stand in applicant pools for prep school or college, so any advice on that would be awesome.
-I’m pretty concerned about whether attending a new school senior year will have an effect on my college apps
