I’ll try to keep this brief (as I possibly can)- thanks for your time.

I used to want to go into theatre, but now I discovered my passion for learning and science. That’s why I took mostly arts and non-honors courses until junior year ):

The school is honestly evil in regards to class choices- you have to be in a “track” to take most AP courses, so you can’t just take whatever you want. Also, a lot of classes are already really hard so there’s no honors available.

Your stats will get you past any threshold screen. A lot will depend on how well your essays make you stand out and how well they suggest you know yourself and how you will add to the community.

In another post dated today you say you are a junior, don’t have an ACT score (only projected scores), and have not taken an AP test yet. What is the truth?

Posters come here as volunteers to try to help college applicants. If you are asking to be “chanced” based on hoped for results for your ACT, AP scores - while claiming they are actual results - then you are both disrespecting poster’s time and providing false information which goes against the terms of service of CC.

In your other thread you said your practice ACT score is 30/31, not 34. Chancing is a difficult enough with accurate data. It’s useless when it’s based on hypotheticals. You need to build your list of reaches, matches, and safeties based on the stats you have.

MODERATOR’S NOTE: Since OP is not consistent about scores I am closing the thread. Users shouldn’t waste their time giving advice to people who aren’t being honest.
