<p>Sooo I'm a senior and I wanna know if I'm in the running for the schools I'm applying to, I asked my counselors but they seem to think that everybody should just go to the U and not try for anything better.....</p>

Class Load: (Very Difficult): Advanced/Ap classes Taken/ to be taken: Ap Calc AB-BC, Calc 3, Ap Physics, Ap Macro, Ap Comparative Politics, Ap Stats, CIS German V, plus many enriched courses that precede these courses.
(I have gotten all A's in the Ap classes, the reason my GPA is so low is because during freshmen and sophomore year there was a lot of bad things going on in my family and gave me a lot of stress, this is what my essay is written on, it is mentioned by my teachers in their recommendations and I mentioned it in the section about if your GPA is a accurate representation of your abilities)</p>
