<p>To both posters, thanks much. I took a look at the two topics you posted and they were very helpful and eye-opening to me regarding the admissions process. </p>
<p>The point was not a “chance” thread, i realize those are meaningless, just to see whether I could still be competitive even though I did not have a very successful 9th grade and a mediorce course load. </p>
<p>Thanks for the help, and as a side note to the previous poster: There’s about 6 or 7 freshmen at my school every year that take Calc AP. Some qualify for USAMO / Take the AIME. And I live in Louisiana 0_o. I always thought the ohter state high schools were waaaaay ahead of us haha.</p>
