<p>My UChicago GPA is actually a 3.8(I copied from Stanford board so I only had Grades 10 and 11 factoried in). Also, I will be getting a letter of rec from my Calculus teacher so hopefully I'm set with that. Thanks for the feedback guys!!!:)</p>

<p>Ah, TASP I see. How was your experience with that? I am dying to go there this summer...</p>

<p>Haha, I didn't make the final cut for TASP so I didn't do that this summer. I made it to the interview round and was waitlisted ehh. Whatever, I enjoyed my time at the summer programs I attended although actually going to TASP would have been truly surreal.;)</p>
