Hi everyone!
I鈥檓 a 15鈥憏ear鈥憃ld junior, and even though it鈥檚 still early in the year, I鈥檓 already thinking a lot about my chances at schools like U鈥慚ich, Caltech, Cornell, and a few others. I鈥檓 planning to major in physics or astrophysics, so I鈥檓 trying to build a strong academic and extracurricular foundation.
Academically, I have a 4.0 UW and about a 4.375 W (and it should increase once my college classes are fully factored in). I鈥檝e taken Calc I and am taking calc 2 (I am also likely to finish calc III by this year, so I'm worried about what i should take next year), and I鈥檓 currently in Physics II with plans to take Physics C. I鈥檓 also involved in classes like Student Senate鈥攚here I鈥檝e been an officer for three years and currently serve as a district officer鈥攁nd concert choir, where I plan to audition for All鈥慡tate and other major competitions.
