It’s good that you are taking the highest math class available at your HS! :+1:

Realistically, the most highly selective colleges would generally prefer to see

  • More than two years of world language
  • More breadth in science classes (typically physics, chemistry, and biology, although I’m guessing your earth sciences class would count too)

I am not an expert, but I do know a few high school students with autism, and I know that people who have autism are all different. So I think this would be a good thing to talk about with your high school counselor, because they know you better. They will also be writing the counselor letter for colleges that gives colleges more background about you, and helps them to interpret your transcript in light of any challenges you have faced.
