I am applying to enginering and specifically the chemical engineering programs.


Also, school allows students to only take AP's junior and senior years. I took 3 jr year, USH, Stats, and English Language. 4,5,4. This year, I take Calc AB, Chemistry, Government, and Spanish Language. School does not carry Calc BC. All of my other classes are honors level.

My school’s GPA system is so volatile so that I won’t even bother giving my GPA, but the unweighted is almost 4.0. Both my unweighted and weighted GPA’s have significantly increased each year of highschool, even as my classes have become more difficult.
