I’m really frustrated with my school right now. Last semester was tough for me due to some health problems, and I ended up with a 3.1 unweighted GPA. Despite that, I still managed to rank in the top 15% of my class. It’s hard to believe how low the standards are.

It sounds like you’ve been through a tough time, and I can understand why you feel frustrated. It’s really disheartening when the system doesn’t seem to reflect the hard work and circumstances we face. Just remember that your health is the most important priority, and grades don’t define your worth or potential. Keep pushing through, focus on your goals, and know that there are many paths to success beyond just rankings!
