<p>That’s a really good list of schools. I think your only “reach” is Georgia Tech. Other than that, with great recommendations and essays, you are a shoo in for any school you apply to. Best of luck! </p>

When do high school students have to sign up for AP classes? Can i sign up for em in like September? And can i get a reccommendation letter from a teacher/counselor ive only known for 1 year? Im shifting schools and i’ll be attending 12th grade at another high school, id appreciate your help. </p>

<p>@Haziq123‌ My school handed out sheets to sign up for AP classes in like december/january but I’m sure you can sign up earlier if you want. And you can get a recommendation from anyone, even if you only know them for one year.</p>

Thank you for helping. And what i meant about signing up for AP classes was, can i sign up for AP classes during september of my senior year when i enroll, and take them during that year. </p>

<p>@Haziq123‌ Yeah of course you can do that!</p>

<p>Don’t weight your honors most schools don’t weight it. Your just fooling yourself!</p>

<p>@sd9754‌ As far as I know many other schools weigh honors courses like my school does. I don’t see how I’m fooling myself </p>
