So I go to a very difficult Private High School in Cleveland Ohio. I hope to make my way into the media industry someday and I firmly believe this school would be very beneficial in that regard. Here is part of my resume and thank you very much:

GPA: 3.65
ACT: 27 (30 EN, 28 MA, 25 SC, 24 CR, 10 Essay)
SAT: 1980 (640 CR, 660 MA, 680 WR, 10 Essay)
AP: US History (3) English Language (4)
SAT II: US History 660

Classes: Mostly the standard courses. I would have taken more AP courses but at the end of my sophomore year I received a concussion and missed the last month of school. Everyone therefore strongly recommended I just take the regular courses rather than pursue the AP and Honors courses. Senior year I am taking AP Bio and AP English Literature.

English: 9, 10, 11, AP Revenge and Justice (Literature) (Took AP Language test in 11th grade even though I did not take the class and got a 4. Will take Literature test Senior year), Art and Craft of Writing
History: 9, 10, 11, Strategy Diplomacy and War, The Civil War and Reconstruction Era, Cuban History (Took APUSH test even though I was not in the class and scored a 3)
Math: Algebra 1, Geometry Accelerated, Algebra 2, Calculus
Science: Bio 9, Chem, Honors Physics, AP Biology (Will Take Test in May)
Latin: 3 Years
