I am currently a senior at Coronado High School and have maintained a 4.0 gpa throughout my high school career. I have and unweighted gpa of 4.95 and taken 6 AP classes and 2 college-level dual enrollment classes so far. I have taken AP Biology, AP English Language, AP World History and AP Human Geography and received an AP Capstone award for completing both AP Seminar and AP Research. I have many academic papers through my capstone classes including papers on the genetics behind eating disorders and the correlation between the consideration of Sex as a Biological Variable (SABV) and increased rates of ADRs for women.
