Transferring Schools

Hello,

I Transferred 3 times in freshman year between 2 districts with different honors/AP policies has me worried about course rigor. The first school-based freshman classes on middle school grades, and I was placed in all the “basic” classes, I had straight As in middle school and the same happened to all my friends, I actually went to a charter middle school which might have been the reason why I was not allowed to choose my classes. I went to this school for 1 week before moving houses, at my new school they gave me the classes I was taking me at my previous school and this made me upset as I wasn’t taking and “harder” classes, I tried switching classes at after the first semester but wasn’t able to as apparently you can’t switch during the of school year as the classes are year-round. I then transferred to another school yet again, this new school is my assigned school as I live in the area of its boundary. I went to the school before this as there wasn’t any space at this time, so I came three weeks into the second semester and it was too late to switch classes, so I was stuck with the basic classes again.

I am scared that this will disadvantage me in college applications, I live in California and plan to apply to UC schools, I also plan to apply to private and maybe ivy league schools, so what should I do, should I get a letter from my counselor when I apply or should I just put it in the additional information section.

Please see posters other threads where the same issue was discussed and answered.
