The deal with my GPA is that I got screwed by my school’s system. I’m not used to the way the school does the grading/teaching. I know I’ll be more successful at college because I’ve taken classes over the summer at Princeton and Recieved As in all 5 of them, but I usually end up with Bs in high school and one or two Cs. However, I have recieved As in all AP classes I have taken so far. I also got an 800 in the Chem subject which i got a C in.
