Hi, I am currently a junior in high school and I am currently looking to major in Computer Science in college. My GPA is 3.9, I am currently in Pre Calculus and AP Computer Science Principles, but I have not taken physics yet. I am president of my school’s AVID club and a historian in my school’s robotics club. I am also enrolled in taking Introduction to Computer Science 1 at UCLA this summer.
