- There was a pretty substantial decline in the second semester of my junior year, caused by something that I cannot reasonably talk about on the application. My grades for the first semester of senior year are much, much better, but very few schools will see those.

Rank: I don't know, but in a very competitive high school, probably not as high as I ought to be.

Course Load: Always quite difficult, though my school offers very few APs. Starting Junior year my school lets you take college courses for free at the University in-town, and I've taken many courses there (18 credit hours junior year, on a 3 credit-per-class basis, with 11 more this semester) including several 300-level classes in History, my intended major, doing quite well (one of my recommendations comes from one of my college history professors).
