<p>Sabertooth,
I completely agree with you on the whole “IA is so much easier to get into” theory. But honestly, I really want to be in the academy. I have been in an academy my whole entire high school career and I absolutely love the uniqueness of it and the “family” aspect about it. So yes, IA was my first choice. But thank you for the advice! </p>
<p>ilovethe47,
Not to be rude, but yes I did in fact read the stats that “most” people have. But in my situation things can get a little sticky. For example, on the website it shows a chart and percentage of students accepted that graduated with a certain amount of credits. I am graduating with about 32 credits which puts me in the 70%+ (I think that’s the number) rank for being accepted. Yes, I know my grades and test scores are WAY below average but what I am counting on is that they will see my potential. Obviously, I love to excel outside of the class room just I have a bit of a studying burden in the class room. However, for college it might be a little different because I have taken quite a few dual enrollment classes (18 credits worth) and I have a 4.0 as my post secondary GPA for college. Hopefully, they will take that into consideration.</p>
