I'm a junior in high school, so I'm guessing maybe you thought I was college age.

Southwest HS in Minneapolis, in the International Baccalaureate program. Not
going for the IB diploma though.

Now I must give you my customary rant that I should be years ahead in math and
science from my current level. I had algebra, full up through anything covered in
any class called "Algebra I", in sixth grade, then back to pre-algebra in middle
school. (I refuse to call it "junior high", it sounds too academic for the
hellhole it was. Mpls' middle schools suck.)
I should be a year ahead in science IMO, but supposedly I did not pass the AP
exam, don't ask me how their system works. Bored my ass off in "foundations
science" relearning that sound and light travel in waves, what absolute zero is
and how to do a "lab" (if you could really call them that). A complete waste
since how to use lab equipment is the first month of any HS bio class anyway.
