<p>What colleges are you looking at?</p>

<p>Just curious, what are you planning to go into? It looks like you have a lot of different interests, based on your extracurricular activities. </p>

<p>@wcao9311‌ A pretty wide variety I suppose. UNC, Columbia, and Pomona are some candidates
@awakeningvenus‌ I was hoping my EC’s didn’t have too much variety D: Looking for a possible double major with philosophy and some science.</p>

<p>@mubaracus‌ No no, it wasn’t too much variety! I just meant because there were some science clubs among discussion, entrepreneurship and philosophy. It all actually sounds really interesting, and considering what you’re planning to go into, your activities are great.</p>

<p>Hmm. I would say to try to take AP Biology since you seem into Genetic Engineering, but at this rate, it doesn’t look like you’ll have room in your schedule.</p>

<p>@awakeningvenus‌ I actually would have taken AP Biology instead of AP Physics but the AP Bio teacher in my school is ridiculously tough and I am not just not built for that my senior year!</p>

<p>@mubaracus‌ Aw, that’s too bad. I’m sure you would’ve enjoyed it.</p>
