<p>alright I am only a soph now. I will probaly finish the year with a gpa of 4.9 on the 5.0. Here's the thing I have a learning disability and have been recommended by my schools special ed department to stay in REGULAR classes which I exceed in with high grades. Next year and senior I will be taking ap/honors history gov econ and german classes. I also do clubs like model un and student council and more. I also volunteer two days a week at my communities resource center. I know I'm only a soph but does anyone think I do have a chance, im just worried about reg classes and not taking more ap till senior year considering i am thinking about early decision. I plan on majoring in POLITICAL SCIENCE and then something in communications. Anyone think i have shot at all and what are other good school for me?</p>
<p>Yes, you do. Although the rigour of schedule is more important than GPA to AU (any many schools), you should be able to express why you haven’t fully loaded your schedule with the toughest courses in your app. Oh - showing interest (make sure to visit!) plays a huge factor - ED students really get a lot of help in AU’s admissions process.</p>
