If I get into UChicago, then I'd being majoring in Economics, but I'd also be doing that Chicago Careers program in Journalism, or at least I think I would.</p>

AP Psych - 5</p>
<p>Currently taking AP Computer Science, AP Physics B, AP Calculus BC, AP Spanish, AP Literature.</p>
<p>My essays are pretty solid, and I have great recs from my AP Chem teacher, my AP Comp teacher, and my Engineering teacher, who has known me since the 7th grade. </p>
<p>But this year, my grades are slipping horribly. I'll be lucky if I manage to get a B in AP Physics and AP Comp Sci, and I think I may even get a C in AP Calculus. Is this going to hurt me drastically come admissions time? </p>
<p>Also, I know my math scores are a little weak. Should I send in my Math 1 score or my Math 2 score? Or possibly, neither? Cornell only needs two, so I can send in Chem and Lit, and UChicago doesn't need any....but would it be not smart to not send in a math SAT 2 score? </p>
<p>Please chance me :) Thanks so much!</p>
