Hookless, 730m 730cr, 33 act
I wrote some pretty awesome essays about an immigrant at my work, and how I want to chance the world by changing garbage into oil
I am taking a very rigorous course schedule and pulled straight As my jr year (but I had 2 Cs my sophomore year).
I am also taking organic chemistry at a local 4 yr uni and doing research with my professor there.
I also got into UIUC engineering (instate), UM-TC chemical engineering with scholarship, and Colorado school of mines with scholarship.
Grades AREN'T everything, but they are important. If you don't have the grades, do something else to set you apart.

my school does only weighted gpa.
how do colleges recalculate gpa?
is it 4 for A and 3 for B or do they look at A- and B+?
