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?

[transcendentalis...]

is your gpa on a 4.0 or a 4.5 scale? my high school was wack - we used a 5.0 scale so... iiii don't understand.

it looks like you have little to no leadership experience. do you have an official resume with specific dates on everything?

volunteering is kinda skimpy. and your sat score is kinda :/ what's your rank?

hopkins does not give out a lot of money... just btw. i'm not gonna lie though, what you've posted so far would just be mediocre to the top 10, 15% of my school. however, we have the reputation for being total psychos so take my comments with a grain of salt, yeah?

st. louis dominated so many people from my year hahaha. waitlisting to the max.
