Other - skipped 8th grade (I’m not sure if it’s relevant), identified as “gifted” (not sure if that’s relevant either). I went to a Summit in Europe last year to discuss innovation in education - the summit itself is not an achievement, but I submitted a project and earned lunch with the keynote speaker (Sir Ken Robinson) along with around 20 other students, out of the 1,300 or so that attended the summit. Not sure if it’s relevant haha sorry.
No job experience. I am planning to work part time once I turn 16.
I am interested in studying Statistics, CS, biomed engineering, Economics, or Aerospace engineering. Stuff like that.

I know it’s a lot but any help is definitely appreciated!
