Thanks for the info bernie. I am not too worried about my own essays as personal writing and English have always been my stronger suits. Regarding my comp sci teacher’s rec, I know she is considered a good rec writer for those who have shown interest in computer science; she does like me as a student and is supportive of my interests in computer sciences, but english is not her first language and she often makes grammatical errors in her writing.
Since I got a 4 on the AP Chem exam, would I be able to skip the introductory chemistry courses? If so, what chemistry courses would be available to me as a freshman?
