I do not have many AP classes because during my junior and senior years of high school, I went to a boarding school where all classes were through a university, so all my classes were dual credit. All AP classes were taken in 9th and 10th grade. I’m applying for computational biology major at School of Computer Science.
With regards to the manager of IT at a company - will CMU just laugh at me for this? Will they think that it is not a serious job, and I’m just bullcrapping this? (I’m not by the way).
