<li>My grades are extremely low because I had to take a lot of time off sophomore and junior year to help my mom’s business to support the family here and in China. I did not mention it in my application because I didn’t want to seem whiny, but my counselor will mention it.- My rank is also low because IB curriculum there are SL classes and HL classes, Sl classes generally easier to get a grade, and I’m taking all HL classes. </li>
