– Do I have any chance?
– Anything you would suggest?
– Feel free to add anything!
THANKS!! (:
You are definitely a competitive student. Keep it up! I’m sure you won’t have a problem getting into the college of your choice.
Try contacting some of the schools to see if they can give you any tips. They are the ones looking and so they are they only ones that will give you any definate answers.
Your schedule looks odd. I don’t think its possible to learn algebra 1, 2 and geometry in one year and still have a decent grasp. You would really need some prior experience to be good at that. The other suspicious class you mentioned – “Biochemistry” – that’s usually a class taken after finishing O-Chem and Gen Chemistry I which are both classes taken after finishing Algebra II
Wow! If you keep taking all these courses, you’ll run out of courses by junior year! You’re taking a lot of honor and AP classes and you still have a 4.0. That is way beyond the ability of a normal high schooler. If you send your list of EC’s and classes to any college, they’ll be impressed. Keep this up! All your schools (as of now) are matches except for Stanford and Princeton (but that’s only because of how selective and random they are). Make sure to get a good score on the SAT/ ACT in Junior or Senior year though
You seem ambitious so I would suggest you start contacting colleges. Go to my website tpanfang.weebly.com and click on the banner on the front page. A website will appear that allows you to contact a lot of universities (including all of those that you mentioned above) one-on-one. Go to those colleges’ websites and visit forums on how to get in on collegeconfidential.com. I barely survived senior year because I didn’t do enough research before hand.
You’re crazy. That’s the hardest college schedule I’ve ever seen. There should be no reason you can’t get into any grad school you want once you finish your four years. Just make sure you’re taking classes that will be useful to your major and your career goals once you get into your junior and senior years.
wow u r a fagggg
its not hard to maintain a 4.0 when mommy and daddy are grading ur papers, you cunt
