<p>Awesome ECs. Looking like the GPA will be below average, while the test scores will be above. I’d say write an awesome essay and you’ve got a great shot :)</p>

<p>this is my schedule btw… i hope they factor in class rigor
sophomore year- chemistry honors
junior year- am lit honors, spanish 4 honors, biology AP (5 on the AP exam), precalculus honors
senior year- ap gov/econ, mythology,ap spanish, physics honors, ap calculus bc</p>

<p>my school district doesn’t allow doubling up in classes (taking two classes of the same type in a school year ex: 2 science classes, and most of the APs in our school require prerequisites of other classes)</p>

<p>Rigor is taken into account, but only to a certain extent. It will help, but I don’t think it’ll be the deciding factor. It’s good that you’ve challenged yourself, though, and if they see the 5 on the AP Bio, that may help as well. Best of luck.</p>
