Test Preparation

<p>sorry in advance because this doesn’t really have much to do with SAT’s but i didn’t know where to put this… </p>

<p>when i did my scheduling my freshman year, i was just afraid that i would get bad grades if i took honors classes for english and history so i took college prep classes instead of honors. then, for my sophomore year, i decided that i would challenge myself and take the honors english II and AP US History I class… i did not too shabby in my english class, B~B+ average. however i did horribly in my history class, C/C+ average. this year, my junior year, i’m taking AP English III and AP US History II and i have an A average in English and B+/A- average in US History. Will adcoms look at this in a positive way that i challenged myself and brought myself up or will this flaw my transcript and adcoms will frown upon my freshman class choices and the bad grades during my sophomore year?? </p>

<p>thank you for any responses!</p>

<p>My D at Harvard got a C in Calculus I doing joint enrollment in HS, got some tutoring, and pulled an A in Calculus II. She wrote about rising to the challenge on one of her application short answers. It worked out for her.</p>
