<p>Freshman year, I was in all Honors classes, but I did terribly in them, so I ended up with only one Honors class (English). However, I did well enough this year that they are allowing me to take AP Environmental Science, AP English, and Honors US History. I have good ECs and plenty of Volunteer hours.
Secondary question - what can I do to increase my chances of getting in?</p>
<p>What year are you in now and are you applying to Tisch? You always want to challenge yourself with classes but not if you are not going to do well in them.</p>
