| 2004. Now I'm a senior at Caltech.
Have you gotten involved in the science/math clubs at West? They do a lot of competitions that would help you demonstrate an interest and excellence in math and science.
Also, you should consider taking some classes at El Camino over the summer, or at night during the school year. If you can get through some advanced math courses there, it will really help you stand out for college apps *everywhere*. If you're up for it, I'd recommend taking one of their calculus classes either this summer, or next year, so that you can take the Calc BC test next year, and you'll have your senior year free to take multivariable and/or diff eqns at ElCo.
If you're looking for a more general sort of 'well-roundedness' you should consider the Academic Decathlon program at West as well. It's excellent, and if you do well in competition will also really help you stand out.
p.s.- Regarding CAMS... at least when I was there, West offered more & better science/math APs et all than CAMS did.
p.p.s.- You say you're a sophomore in World History Honors? Say hi to Mr Palazzo for me. ;-) |
