So… yeah. Probably have no chance but i still want to try. As you guys can see i am really stepping up my extracurriculars next year. I just found out about TAMS during winter break this school year lol. I didn’t know it existed before then and I only found out cuz of a friend.
Please reply and help me out. Just throw any advice you may have my way. Any comment is appreciated and thanks for reading this large post. =)
Oh also I’m going to be applying early decision and applying to the traditional science.
