<p>Ok well I started to become serious about my schoolwork in junior year. I wasted sophomore year spending 3:00 PM - 11:00 PM afterschool with theater/choir. I was doing really well the first two marking periods junior year. I had a Straight A average the first semester. However, at that point I started getting sick quite frequently. My grades ended up dropping gradually. </p>
<p>I feel as if my test scores are a better indicator of me than my GPA</p>
<p>i got a 160 on the PSAT Sophomore year. This year i managed to pull a 2120 on the SAT after some studying while I was sick.</p>
<p>I got a B freshman year math, a C sophomore year math [both honors]. Then in Junior year i qualified for the AIME, Scored a 780 in Math2, got an A in CalcAP, got a 5 on the AP test, got an A in stat, got a 4 on the Stat AP test (teacher's average is a 1.9). Had i not been sick, my grades would have been much higher.</p>
<p>To add on to that. I got a C in Chemistry Sophomore year, but i got an 800 on the subject test junior year. I also got a B in US History in Sophomore year but an 800 on the Subject test.</p>
<p>I'm poitive that I can get straight As on my 1st MP Senior year and have that sent</p>
