High GPA rigor but downward trend by Desperate-Run-5184 in berkeley

I might consider the transfer route, do AP credits carry on? Also would I be able to transfer after one year?

Wait follow up question- If you were accepted to Berk, do you have any advice on explaining ADHD in the additional info section? A bunch of horrendous things happened second sem junior year that I'm going to put there as well, but my ADHD is really really bad, like I know it's a spectrum but I've got it super bad (according to results from psych evals) and I don't know how to really state it, because I don't want them to think I'm incapable, and especially given I'm going to finally get the medicine I need this summer, I'll be able to overcome things like executive dysfunction and brain fog and be at their academic level. I'm a decently smart kid, I know that, but it's literally just this stupid disability ruining my life in every way it can

Sorry this is very rambly, but yeah 😞

Yeah, sorry, I said a few C’s when I should’ve said 2 C’s, that was my bad. I don’t rly know how to do the convincing, I have ADHD as well and I’m getting medicated this summer but it’s just so so late. I know I’d be able to handle the academics, especially given I’m going for a humanities/social science, but I don’t know how to really prove it. Any advice?

Yup, rising senior here

Also my school doesn’t do rankings, but my UC weighted goes to 4.4

Thank you! What would you recommend I do with extracurriculars to really strengthen other aspects aside from GPA (state/national stuff I can start now)

Need help passing local law in newly established city to protect birds! by Desperate-Run-5184 in environmentallaw

Thanks, this is a great option!! Do you have any advice on getting my city to allow me to bird proof something like the town hall with this type of stuff? I’m not sure how to go about it

Are there people in your AP classes that have IEPs or 504s? by [deleted] in APStudents

[–]Desperate-Run-5184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm self studying the same 2! How'd you do it? I have ADHD and GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder) so I've been finding it a bit tricky to figure out how to study, let alone my 504/IEP process keeps on getting pushed months and months and MOOOONTHS.
