I’m in the top 5% of my class, but there are people above me who are taking a few more AP classes than me, although some of them may get B’s, I know I won’t be number one. My guidance counselor said she’d probably say “very demanding” on my application. My GPA could possibly be a lot lower than the valedictorian. I regret not taking a better schedule in ninth and tenth grade to set myself up this year.

My plan is to take 2-3 courses on virtual school over the summer. Will these classes count towards my GPA? Do these classes go on my transcript? I want to show the colleges I mean business, and I want to do more than the classes I am taking. I feel taking these classes over the summer would boost my senior schedule indefinitely and possibly increase my rank.
