Also, I don’t know if it matters at all, but here are my scores and classes. Hopefully, it will make giving advice or comments and will help to make some of the other information I gave more relevant. If not… just ignore it.

Oh, and thanks again in advance to anyone who helps. I realize that’s a lot of stuff to read, so don’t necessarily read all of it. Just any comments or advice would be helpful.

the basics (all required classes - all honors, if available)
only class worth noting: PLTW - Introduction to Engineering and Design (taken Freshman year)

(My senior year schedule isn’t entirely set in stone. I might replace the Gov&Econ class with something else if I get credit for it over the summer - so I’m not 100% sure. But that’s the overall “jist” of my schedule next year.)
