well, im applying with you lol.

but in my opinion, i think you have an awesome chance!
American is def. a match for you.

the only problem is how do you have a 3.88 weighted gpa with only one AP course for your junior year?

oh, i mean, i didn't think it was that important to list honor classes on CC. of course on my transcript it says what classes i've taken, so the college will see it.

i don't know how honors in your school is but the Honors courses in my school are just as hardcore. I have the IB program in my school so we take all Honors courses Freshman and Sophomore year while we take IB Junior and Senior year.

Actually, my Chemistry and Global History Honors Teachers required everyone in the class to take the AP Chem and AP European History tests because those classes were THAT hard.

& i scored a 3 on Chem and a 4 on Euro.

So, in a sense, Honors is just as important.
