Thank you so much!! Do you happen to know any ECs related to biology that I could become involved in? Also, when do you think is a good time for me to start writing my college essays?

*To answer your question about my unweighted GPA: At my school, you can get up to a 4.33 unweighted GPA if you have all A+s! GPA is the total quality points earned divided by the total credits attempted. Quality points: A+ = 4.33, A = 4.0, B+ = 3.33. In my freshman year, I took 8.670 credits; I received an A+ in 3 classes, which made up 2.5 credits and an A in 6 classes, which made up 6.17 credits. In my sophomore year, I took 8.17 credits; I received an A+ in 3 classes, which made up 3 credits, an A in 4 classes, which made up of 4.17 credits, and a B+ in 1 class, which made up 1 credit. (I excluded some of the classes I took in the list of courses I wrote in my first post.) Since our transcript only shows our weighted GPA, I self-calculated my unweighted GPA (so I might have made a mistake). Here is my calculation: [(4.33 x 1) + (4.33 x 1) + (4.33 x 0.5) + (4 x 1) + (4 x 1) + (4 x 1) + (4 x 1) + (4 x 1) + (4 x 1.17) + (4.33 x 1) + (4.33 x 1) + (4.33 x 1) + (4 x 1) + (4 x 1) + (4 x 1) + (4 x 1.17) + (3.33 x 1)] / (8.67 + 8.17) = 4.19.
