Pros
- I’m going to apply Early Decision for Johns Hopkins.
- Awesome Public Speaker.
- Decent Essay
- Mind blowing Teacher Recommendations
- Haven't done anything horrible that would get me sent up to the office for 2 years.

Cons
- Caught Cheating Twice Sophomore Year
- Freshman Year is.. Horrible. 3 Cs A lot of Bs. Couple As.
- C+ First Semester of Sophomore Year of Pre Calc A+ 2nd Semester
- Took all Regular Classes Freshman Year
- The only think I have for all 4 years is Tennis.
- I'm probably going to get either a mediocre or a horrible counselor recommendation.

I know, I was stupid for Cheating. I'm planning on being a Pre-Med so I'm probably going to major in Chem or Bio. Or even better! BioChem! Not sure yet though :T I've taken a Science Class every year throughout High School.


So Here's basically my story. I started out as a horrible student. Freshman year totally kicked my ass. I was caught Cheating Sophomore year but I got decent grades. Atleast 2nd semester. 1st semester was still kind of a transition from horrible student to A+ Student. 1C 1B 5 As. 2nd Semester of Sophomore year and beyond, Straight As. My Counselor Recommendation isn't going to be great. I know my Teacher Recommendations (Chem Teacher, Math Teacher) are going to be awesome. Basically I went from an Asian Fail... to a Straight A Student. I'm afraid Freshman Year's going to affect colleges' decisions though.

Can someone update me on the UC Teacher/Counselor Recommendations by the way? Do they get information from your counselors at all regarding the student's attitude? Or just Transcript?
