<p>Note: I have moved three times during high school due to parents’ jobs, so I don’t know how my GPA will look like in my new school. Probably good (or maybe that’s the optimist in me) because they use a weighted GPA and they don’t offer many APs, whereas my current school offers many APs (which I have taken, comparatively) and does not weigh. </p>
