Additional Comments:
My mother died before I could even start high school, which led to depression and an eating disorder that were both untreated. Freshman year I had terrible grades and I had to deal with adjusting to a new school with a completely different education system. (From IB to American system) By the time I had started sophomore year, I had worked through my issues and was able to come out first semester with a 3.3 GPA and now, in my second semester,maintaining a 4.0 :)
Also applying to UCSB, NYU, Pepperdine, McGill, University of Toronto & University of British Columbia (list for now)
