I go to a fairly rigorous New England boarding school with a lot of matriculation to these schools.

Currently a Junior c/o 2017. Trinity is my #1 and I’m a legacy there.

Grades-
US History- B- (rigorous course, took optional AP exam confident I got a 4 or 5)
Biology- B+ (also honors level)
English- B
Pre-Calc- C+ (Teacher passed away midway through year, reason for lower grade)

Loading up on high level classes for senior year. Hope to improve GPA as well. Taking highest level history class offered and a challenging Art Law Class.
