That’s ok. If you took a rigorous schedule. You don’t have to take ALL the honors and AP offered:). Some of them may not interest you. At my S school, you cannot take AP until junior year.
My S refused to take AP Lit. But he has 3 others next year, so I think it’s ok.
My freshman year I took one honors, and got a B+ in History.
Sophomore year I took 3 honors (history, spanish, chem) and got straight A’s
Junior year I took AP Spanish, AP US, AP Psych, Physics Honors, Precalc Honors, English Honors. Straight A’s.
Senior year I’m lined up to take 5 AP courses.
My junior year was extremely difficult and rigorous, but not so much my freshman and sophomore year. I’ve been told that improvement looks good, though.
I think that is great. I don’t think the schools expect you to take a masochistic schedule! In fact, it is better if you take what interests and challemges you, rather than what you think a college wants. I think it looks rigorous, and you did well.
When I was a kid, we didn’t have all this pressure…I’m sorry you kids do. Just be true to yourself, and enjoy life a little too, OK?
Oh, and how about Northeastern and Miami U (OH)…
You don’t think not taking honors math or english until junior year will affect me? My transcript is not as rigorous as the kids that got accepted into these school from my school for CO19
@bigshrimp. It is possibe that it will, but don’t worry about it. It is past. Just focus on going forward.
There are lots of great schools out there. I do think you are doing good research about kids from your own school though. It is a better indicator than the college’s overall statistic on acceptances.
Ross is very difficult for direct admit but with your stats, I think you would have a good chance of transferring into Ross. uT Austin has an excellent business program as well as Marshall at uSC. Ut Austin has a business honors program which is HIGHLY competitive.
@educateddarcy Any chance of me getting in without having to transfer? I don’t want to have to transfer haha
No one can chance that. It is very difficult to get into Ross direct. I have heard that the kids who do get in as a direct admit put on their resumes that they were a direct admit. May be just rumor but I wouldn’t be surprised. The two kids that got in this year had excellent academic stats. I think you could be a contender but you never know. The beauty of it is that you can apply there and still apply elsewhere. You first find out about getting into Michigan and then they wait to advise you about Ross. Definitely look at Texas, too.
