<p>Hi, I'm applying to Princeton RD. All throughout high school I've only got As (one A- in a stupid elective course freshman year but that's not a problem). I've taken 8 AP's until junior year.</p>
<p>But senior year first semester grades are worrying me so much. I am a more math/science person, and I've ran out of number-heavy (Chemistry, Physics, Calc, Stat) courses. Now I'm taking all humanities - AP Lit, AP Comp Gov&Gov, AP Psychology (actually rigorous in my school), AP Latin, and AP Bio - which is more reading than calculation. Oh yeah, I AM taking AP Comp Sci and it's my only breathable class. I'm not even a native English speaker, so it's really hard for me to read and write well - in all SIX OF MY AP COURSES!!</p>
<p>It seems like even if I work my butt off for the rest of the semester, all I can manage is two A-'s and five As. I know A- and A are pretty identical, but is it even so for schools like Princeton? And it IS a drop from junior/soph/freshman years :( how much would this impact me?</p>
