<p>Other information
My poetry has been published by our school literary magainze, and in national anthologies/magazines
I attended “Business Week” and “Advanced Business Week”, at colleges during the summer. I was CEO both times, and ranked in the top 3.
National Hispanic Scholar (???)
National Merit qualifier (???)</p>

<p>Other notes: In addition, my original IB-diploma plan had me taking an easier course than calc, that would barely qualify as pre-calc. I really wanted to get Calculus in my highschool career, so I took pre-calc at the same community college, and got tutored by my teacher and my advanced math friends. And I have officially taken a requirement test to get into IB Calc, and passed!</p>

<p>I loved your title! haha I’m new to the site but I’m sure you have great standings for most public schools. Good chance for Amherst, Bowdoin, and Swathmore. Those are schools I am familiar with and my college counselor said I could probably get in. And I must say your test scores/some grades are better than mine. Plus very good EC’s. Im not sure about the others, but I hope I helped at least a little!</p>
