I’ve only taken one AP course - AB Calc and got a 5 on the exam.
My essay will center around my struggle with OCD and how it has impacted me academically and personally.
Next year, I will be going to cosmetology school at Paul Mitchell while I apply to UMD as normal (the early graduation was unplanned for medical reasons).
I want to major in computer science. I have a good GPA and a fairly decent SAT score, but the fact that I am only taking 4 classes this year and 2 the summer after, and the fact that they’re all academic level, worries me. Also, I’m worried about the fact that I will be going to cosmetology school next year but applying to major in computer science…but I haven’t taken any computer science or math courses since 10th grade. I didn’t in 11th for medical reasons and next year I will be in cosmetology school. Chance me?
