Hi,
So I’m a freshman in high school. Its one of those average high schools in town. I don’t know my GPA or grades but I am in all honors EXCEPT history. They couldn’t fit me in as the class was full! Are my chances of getting into an Ivy league lowered because of this? Should I transfer to a private school?
No.
In many schools, freshmen have limited options for honors classes as it is. Colleges know this. Additionally, most schools have graduation requirements for which there may not be honors options, like arts, phys ed, religion, etc.
Normally, I would say that the GC can talk about scheduling conflicts in his/her rec, but TBH, one non-honors class as a freshman is a non-event, and not even worth mentioning in a college app.
Do you love history? If so , have your parents talk to the GC about it. There may be other kids that want drop down.
If not, do not worry. Do well in all your classes.
