<p>Additional Notes:
- Wanted to take AP Spanish V, but my school is not offering it next year
- Would have taken AP Lit., but decided to focus more on engineering specific courses than learning how to write a sonnet and decoding Shakespeare
- Part of the DukeTIP program in 7th Grade by taking the ACT. Scored fairly high for a middle schooler and got an award for it. (not sure if this counts for much)
- Caucasian, not a legacy, NC resident</p>
<p>Strengths: GPA, Course load, Interest in Engineering (Camps, 4 years of PLTW engineering courses)
Weaknesses: EC’s, Test Scores</p>
