Thank you all for the responses! I’ve decided to stay in school for senior year for AP credits … and simplicity …
@lostaccount I was vague about my EC’s and interests purposely because I didn’t want to reveal my identity or start political fights. Thus you know veeeeeeery little about me.
I don’t feel obligated to prove myself to you at all.  Your discouragement does not matter.  So I suggest you take your rather unfounded negativity elsewhere, because I’m proud of who I am and I’m going to apply wherever I want
