<p>NOTES: </p>
<p>I'm interested in majoring in chemical engineering. </p>
<p>I skipped a grade if that means anything.</p>
<p>I live in the Middle East and there's many social and legal obstacles to holding a paid job anywhere; otherwise I definitely would've gotten a job. </p>
<p>If I could go back in time and do something more or change something, what do you guys think it would be? </p>
<p>And, finally, should I apply as a STEM major or undecided?</p>
