<p>My worry is Im taken less honors courses as i progress. Also, my math and science grades tend to be in the high 80's and my english and history grades are what pulls my average up, I don't no what effect that has seeing how i want to major in engineering.</p>

<p>Any input or advice would be great! Thanks!</p>

<p>I really don’t like to chance, but you can compare your stats to the class profile published on the school website.<a href=“https://www.lafayette.edu/about/lafayette-at-a-glance/entering-class-profile/”>https://www.lafayette.edu/about/lafayette-at-a-glance/entering-class-profile/&lt;/a&gt;
I’d also recommend that you continue to show interest in Lafayette, perhaps by interviewing etc. And if Lafayette turns out to be your absolute and unquestioned first choice, I’d suggest applying ED.</p>
