You should have a good shot. Crazy how different the rest of Missouri is from STL/KC. When I first saw no APs I was really surprised that they didn’t have any.

I’d say your chances are pretty good. Having come from a small school myself I can vouch for the “leniency” offered when you don’t have as many opportunities for AP or Honors. And a class of 25?? Wow, I thought my class was small at 92 :lol:

BTW, are you planning on doing pre-med with your Biology degree?

not pre-med, more on the research side of things

@Doboy919 did you get in?

@sdl0625 yes! with a presidential scholarship
