<p>I'm a junior at a top20 boarding school in US, and hasn't really been doing so well in my classes. I really need you guys to chance me so that I see what I have to improve.
I want to major in Computer programming/ Cryptography.
The schools that I've been thinking to apply are: Stanford, CalTech, UIUC, Georgia Tech, Cooper Union, etc. Plz give me some suggestions on where I should apply next year! :)
Thanks</p>
