>20 currently

>might apply to Trinity College, Dublin because it's a) an English speaking country b) $27,000 per year and more affordable than an Ivy or a UC c) much easier to get in
>Junior college doesn't have all of the classes in first year; if I have to take the same classes again I might not even want to go.
>at the least it will take me 3 years to finish undergrad (math)

>4.0
You shouldn't be impressed. 4.0 is not even a good metric of gifted intelligence nor is it a correlation. There isn't much of a difference between a 3.6 and a 3.7 student beyond accuracy which is a useless metric for intelligence. I understand that /sci/ likes to tout otherwise but let's be honest: /sci/ is a bunch of brainlets.
>grad courses sophomore year
Means nothing but raw autism. Either that or they got a headstart on their summer classes since the 8th grade and took all APs in high school. There is no difference between a person who knows calculus at 16 and at 21. I wouldn't call that an accomplishment.
>writing a paper
More like piggybacked onto a professor's lap. Else they're writing something very inconsequential. Very few people write research of worth.
>recommendation system
Literally sucking the professors cock. How do you quantify the "best student in 15 years" besides being likeable? It's a reasonable question but it's not given the time of day. Personality should have no part to play with your career.
