Possible. In fact, very.
How are you doing on these classes though? Very high GPA is required…
For SAT, ACT, and AP Qs, use my message board.

Yes, but I would also consider how you are structuring your volunteer and work experience. they all need to tie into your major. Don’t go broad with this, find your specialty and go deep. Job shadowing, internships and competitions in your field mean a lot.
Best of Luck!
