I had no idea you were still in high school. Your intelligence exceeds you, guy.
You'll do fine anywhere you go.
Electrical Engineering student. Life is pretty good, but boring.

Worcester Polytechnic Institute?
Discrete Analysis?
Johns Hopkins?
I have no idea what you are talking about. :)

WPI is a small polytechnic (math/science oriented) school in central Massachusetts.
Discrete Mathematics is the study of discrete - i.e., not continuous numbers. For example, height is continuous - since it is not broken up into a concrete number of steps. For example, your weight could be 199 pounds, 199.1 pounds, 199.01 pounds... there is not discrete step size. Conversely, the number of apples that I can place on a table is discrete. It is a certain number: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. There is a discrete and definite step size: 1.
Discrete Mathematics is basically solving problems with discrete terms.
Numerical Analysis is a little bit harder to explain, but it's basically writing programs that can brute-solve problems related to rates of change.
Johns Hopkins is a system in Baltimore, Maryland that includes a very well respected hospital, top-ranked medical school, and undergraduate college. I was waitlisted at that undergraduate college
