Mikemac, thank you.

fogcity, it is just that all this… interests me. I do not want to live my life based on college acceptances, and since I want to go into engineering or pure science, I feel that taking these courses would better prepare me for my job than ECs I find boring. Then, in college, where in math and physics I will be two years ahead of the normal student, I could meet people with contacts. Who could introduce me to people willing to hire me. I’m not taking these classes just cause they look good on a transcript. It is because they interest me and would prepare me for a job.

My dilemma is that the only place I could say this is in an interview, which most colleges do not have :/

Also, I am not your typical video game playing math nerd. I have a social life, go out often, and am able to actually talk to people instead of drooling about the importance of string theory (Even though I find it very important)
