<p>I already posted this a few weeks back, but I have since rewritten my profile much more detailed. I am interested in the major engineering schools, and I plan to apply to many schools.</p>

<p>I attended a private school for the gifted that had an IQ requirement for grades 5 through 8, at which I took high school classes beginning in 6th grade.</p>
<p>I skipped my sophomore year of high school (over this past summer).</p>
<p>I took AP Physics B and Precalc as a freshman, and I am currently taking AP Physics C and BC Calc as a Junior.</p>
<p>Note: My school doesn't rank at all. That class rank above is an estimate of questionable accuracy.</p>
<p>Classes:
Freshman:
Precalc Research Honors (honors + 4 independent projects)
AP Physics B
Global II H
English H
Spanish H
Writing Enrichment</p>
<p>Junior:
AP Calc BC
AP Physics C
US H
English H
Spanish H
Natural Science Research Seminar
Health</p>
<p>Senior (next year):
Multivariate Calc
AP Chem
AP Government
AP Economics
AP Statistics
English H (possibly AP)
Spanish H (possibly AP)

<p>My situation concerning my GPA is a little bit weird. After 8th grade, I switched into public school and got terrible grades, a 3.2. After that year, I was skipped ahead to 11th grade. In eleventh grade, I have been getting better grades. My public school will not integrate my 4.0 GPA from 8th grade (which was all high school classes) into my cumulative GPA, but I factored it into my GPA here.</p>
<p>I'm not sure how I will present it when I apply or how the colleges will look at it.</p>
<p>I am now a junior.</p>
<p>If worst comes to worst and I feel that I need another year to improve my GPA or anything, it will probably not be very difficult for me to go back to my former grade. (will this look bad?)</p>
