Exciting Education 📝¶
For high school, I attended BASIS Independent Silicon Valley (BISV), located in San Jose, CA. During this time, I also took summer courses from Stanford University. Now, I'm at UCLA!
BISV (High School, 2017-2021)¶
In total, I earned 36.85 credits and a GPA of 4.00 (UW) and 4.86 (W).

BISV - Courses
Some of the traditionally major-related courses I've completed include:
- CS: AP CS A, AP CS P, Capstone: Java + ML
- Math: AP Calc AB/BC, AP Statistics, Diff Eq, Multivar Calc
- Physics: AP Physics 1, AP Physics C: Mech, AP Physics C: E/M
BISV - Examinations
During my time at BASIS Independent Silicon Valley, I took 19 AP courses and examinations and received 4's (3 examinations total) and 5's (16 examinations total) by the end of my senior year.
I had taken AP World History as an eighth grader as part of curricular requirements 😅
In addition, I took the following standardized tests:
- ACT - 36/36
- SAT Math II - 800/800
- SAT Biology - 800/800
- SAT Chemistry - 800/800
In retrospect, I don't really know why I took the Bio exam. I guess I hadn't realized how squeamish I was at that point 😅. That epiphany came early in 9th grade, nearly fainting while watching the grafting of a human ear...
BISV - Distinctions
Some of the distinctions I received during my time at BISV include:
- Distinguished Honor Roll (2017 - 2021)
- Student of the Year, Post-AP Diff Eqs (2020)
- National Merit Scholarship Finalist (2021)
Stanford Summer Session(s)¶
During the summers of junior and senior year, I supplemented my coursework by taking summer courses from Stanford University. For an official transcript, kindly use this hyperlink.
In total, I earned 15 units and a GPA of 4.00 (UW) and 4.10 (W).
| Course Number | Course Title | Grade | Year |
|---|---|---|---|
| MATH 51 | Linear Algebra, Multivariable Calculus, and Modern Apps | A | 2019 |
| CS 106B | Programming Abstractions (C++, Data Structures) | A+ | 2019 |
| CS 103 | Mathematical Foundations of Computing | A | 2020 |
Additionally, I served as an Office of Accessible Education (OAE) Notetaker for CS 103, compiling and publishing my notes for each lecture (got some sweet pocket change 😅).
