<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 low 90'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>To be honest, no school really cares much about “honors” courses when APs are available. Then they’ll look at which APs you took vs. which were available, “honors”, not so much.</p>

<p>You’ll be competitive for the school you listed. Since you’re female who wants to major in engineering, also apply to Case Western, you should have a good shot there as well, with a merit package, since females do get a bit of a break there.</p>
