<p>I was just wondering whether colleges would conceive of my freshman course selection as “challenging”:</p>
<p>-Algebra 2 Honors
-English 1 Honors
-Biology Honors
-World History Honors
-French 1
-P.E./Cross Country
-State-Required Course(required to graduate) for one semester/Finance for the other</p>
<p>I think those are challenging courses especially if you show a pattern of growth by taking harder and harder courses each year. I (personally) have always taken the most rigorous courseload in my school and as a Junior exhausted their curriculum and ended up with mostly Bs because I couldn’t handle the pressure where everyone else had time to work on projects and I couldn’t afford the extra ten minutes because I had other work to do. My tip to you is not to bite off more than you can chew and just excel. Colleges like stories, so give them one. Chance me Back at UPENN???.. please</p>
