<p>Special Circumstance: Due to personal problems that occurred during junior year of high school, the caliber of my courseload (only 2 AP's) is suffering. In reality, it should've been 5-7 APs. Same goes for my college board scores. Realistically speaking, I would've received somewhere in the mid 1300s to low 1400s. However, I am not willing to retake them, because I'm already in college and do not want to be bothered studying for such a tedious and stressful exam.</p>
