<p>I have six hours of college credit with a grade of A+ from the University of Pennsylvania from a Computer Science course I took there last summer.</p>
<p>150+ hours of community service (just like everyone else), a few clubs with officer positions (just like everyone else), played basketball freshman year at a very competitive school (Only private school in District 5A, we were #1 in Texas and #3 overall two years ago). Won't help much, however.</p>
<p>I also have created logos for small businesses and companies, helped code and create video games professionally and non-professionally, etc. I taught myself how to use professional-grade programs when I was nine and created an online portfolio to showcase my work over the last nine years. I showed this to the Associate Director of the Computer Science Department at Penn when I was there, and she seemed to think this would greatly help my admissions chances everywhere (She worked in admissions for 16 years).</p>
<p>Anyway, my GPA is not very high and I haven't taken an abundance of AP classes, although that's mostly due to my high school. We can't take any AP classes freshman year, have a maximum of three AP classes sophomore, junior, and senior year, and aren't even guaranteed a spot in those classes because they're in such high demand. If you make, for example, a B+ in freshman English, as I did, you don't get a spot in any later AP-level English courses because of the demand.</p>
<p>Anyway, looking for some input. If you think I'd have a better chance applying to the Engineering school instead of their liberal arts College, I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on that as well.</p>
