All A's except first semester freshman English, and fall semester of Calculus BC.</p>
<p>(I did precalc during the summer before my freshman year so i could skip ahead into BC. I received A's for that course from the University of Missouri: Columbia.)
I took Latin I extracurricularly (is that a word?) my sophomore year because it wouldn't fit into my schedule.
Given my blocks being filled with Band and debate all four years, I have otherwise maxed out all possible departments from my school with the exception of a couple science IIs. (Bio and physics)</p>

<p>General Notes</p>
<p>I love politics. Most of my time is spent reading news/books. Because of this, I can expect excellent rec letters from government and history teachers. I want to major in Poli Sci. </p>
<p>Also, I am fairly liberal, Kansas is not. I plan on doing some pretty cool event type things early this fall for the national and state general elections. This will hopefully stir up some media attention. But I can't really plan that.</p>
<p>I feel like my interview will be very good. Thanks to debate (yay pretty speaking!), and my passion for what I want to study.</p>
