-Notes:
–Schedule was poorly planned; I could’ve done more APs, by taking more summer school (Can take one year’s worth of courses each summer). Didn’t know much about scheduling, and ended up having a non-rigorous schedule. Hope ECs are good enough to help me…
–Will be taking Organic Chemistry at local university (not through dual-enrollment)
–Wanted to take AP Lang in 11th grade, but wasn’t able to due to a schedule issue. Will take AP Lit this year. Hopefully, everything works out fine.
–*Loved Calc and wish to take Calc 3 and Linear Algebra through a dual-enrollment program school offers. Many are suggesting that Spanish will be better for college apps. Want to take Calc 3 though. Suggestions?
Awards and ECs/ Volunteering (through and not through school)
-Marching Band (Since 9th grade) - Squad Leader as Senior; Have won multiple awards - MSBOA 1st division (all 3 years), Best Marching Band at Festival Disney 2014, Invited to UMich Big House to play, etc. (Mainly non-competitive; Rarely compete)

-Summer between 10th and 11th grade (With Chem 1 experience): Research Experience - Shadowed Biochemistry Lab at local university (Oakland Univ.) - Shadowed for first few weeks; supervised hand-on work later on ((Gained experience learning and using different equipment)
-Summer between 11th and 12th grade (With Chem AP experience): Research Experience - Shadowed and worked in Organic Synthesis Lab at Oakland University; Hands-on work (Gaining experience; very interesting) (might receive personal project) AND Computational Chemistry Project (under different professor); will be competing in Siemens or Intel (very complicated, but love Chemistry; project is very intriguing and enthralling)
-Awards in non-EC: Concert Band setting: MSBOA State Level - 1st division (all 3 years), Festival Disney 2014 - Best Concert Band, other invitations and 1st place awards

MSU - CoE (for Chem
UC Berkely - Chemistry major
UCLA - Chemistry major
MIT (Not sure yet; huge reach)
UChicago - Chemistry major
Again, really appreciate your help! Will chance back!
