<p>Thanks for the honest responses.</p>
<p>I may end up retaking SAT1. I’ll also try to get 800 on SAT2 math and physics. As to the independent study courses, they are for a grade, and I give progress checks and will have quizzes sometime. The courses will appear on my transcript. </p>
<p>One more thing, which I’m not sure is in my favour or not important. </p>
<p>My school only has AP Physics B, and no multivariable Calc because very few student take a calc course junior year (I was one of three or four out of junior class of 300 and some.) </p>
<p>My physics teacher, who teaches AP Physics B, is planning on offering AP Physics C next year (2008-2009), and is structuring the course based somewhat on what I do. </p>
<p>I’m actually the only student in my school taking physics C this year (both classical mech and electromagnetism.)</p>
<p>Would that count for anything?</p>
