...I'm not sure if self studying with a non-credited online AP course counts, but if it does, then it might be for Physics B</p>
<p>Other stuff:
Recipient of the Bausch and Lomb honorary science award from University of Rochester in 11th grade
I'm currently looking for a job...hopefully will have one by next week.</p>
<p>I think that's about it...It's really hard to do other stuff outside of band because marching band requires about 25 hours a week of commitment, and jazz season has a competition every Saturday. All groups are awarding winning groups in the highest tier of SCSBOA...I plan on double majoring in Chemical Engineering and Math, or maybe just one of the two (probably ChemE)</p>
<p>I really just do not know what colleges look for, or if my stats are really that superb. If necessary, I'll post my grades and such. I cannot really do much to improve what I have except test scores, which hopefully will improve with sufficient studying. I also don't know about what to write about in essays...I was thinking about the influence of my father who's been blind since I was three and how his very opinionated beliefs and the way he tackles life has affected me. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, mostly constructive criticism...I really just wanna know if I have a chance...thank you.</p>
