<p>Academics: My school GPA sucks cuz i got a lot of A minuses. I moved schools in october of 10th grade b/c the school i was
at had no APs except for ap calc/ ap stat so i wanted to move to a school that could give me more academic opportunity.
Because i moved schools after the school year started sophomore year, i couldn't take any APs/honors sophomore year.</p>
