AP Bio: A/A
AP US: A/A

Dual enrollment math modeling/differential equations: A+ (hardest math class in the county and I got either one of two or the only A+!!)
Honors Art V: A
Honors anatomy: A+
AP Chemistry: A+
AP Gov: A
AP Statistics: A+
AP Lit: A+
semester grades will be the same I think
I have had 5 years of Spanish alrady</p>

<p>ECs are weak. Like I said I was lazy freshman and sophomore year. Then it was too late
Freshman: Key club, piano, girl scouts
Sophomore: Key club, piano, girl scouts, Beta
Junior: Cross country and track, key club, piano, girl scouts, Beta, NHS, math/science mentoring
Senior: Cross country and track (CAPTAIN this year), key club, piano, girl scouts, Beta, NHS, school ambassador, freshman mentoring, math modeling team
Various volunteering
Work: 5-15 hours a week during October at a pumpkin patch, on call during the year (it's a greenhouse)
What makes me nervous is applying to engineering but not being in things like Mu Alpha Theta especially when math is a passion of mine. I didn't apply out of stupidity sophomore year and then junior year my calc teacher didn't give us the info..
And a lack of leadership...also due to laziness in early high school. However I do put SO much energy into school, and my current ECs, especially my cross country and track teams!!
No summer programs and such - I travel a lot and have been to 46 states (included in essay)</p>
<p>Awards (again not much):
Perfect attendance each year
Scholar Athlete award
Varsity letter
AP Scholar</p>
<p>So more background: I used to want to go into physical therapy. Then junior year I fell in love with math, calculus etc. Summer before this year I decided I want to go into biomedical engineering - it's so cool and I love the application of the engineering to the human body - like two in one haha! Obviously this is a recent realization so I didn't take AP Physics and am taking AP Chem instead. :/ So I'm applying to VT (I know no BME major), and UVA engineering then W&M and JMU for if I decide not to do engineering. UVA is my top choice. I'm already accepted into VCU's Engineering and Honors College though! :)
But yeah didn't really start cracking down till last year so I'm concerned.
Essays are really good- I'm a strong writer. Recs are good too.
Also did an interview at W&M and it went very well!</p>
<p>So chance me please? Thanks!!</p>
