I never took Honor classes in Freshman yr, no good :/

Applying to College

<p>My UW GPA is a 92 overall.</p>

<p>Although it's not a bad GPA for the schools that I applied to, my classes during the Freshman and soph yr weren't rigorous enough.</p>

<p>I took no Honor classes in Freshman yr and only 2 honor classes, which were Math and Chemistry during my sophomore year. It is also one of the reasons why my WEIGHTED GPA is very bad. (my W GPA is a 95, while students who took lots of/all honor classes could have a 99 or 100)</p>

<p>I took all Honor and APs during my Junior yr, and I got a 90.67 UW (fall) and 94.33 UW (spring).</p>

<p>I'm only taking AP classes this year, although I didn't do that well on my mid-year report. (UW=88, with 3 Bs and 2 As)</p>

<p>Am I going to get penalized seriously?</p>

<p>I don't know if my schools are going to consider it, but I have been in this country for 4 years only.</p>

<p>Sorry if it's too long...</p>

<p>You appear to be taking the most rigorous program that your school offers for your junior year, and for your first semester senior year. These are the most important years/semesters for selective colleges.</p>

<p>Freshman year is a period of transition for many students. In practice many schools, including some of the most academic schools, don’t offer honors or AP courses during that year.</p>

<p>I don’t think you have any reason to worry about the rigor of your coursework.</p>

<p>Haha I think you’re perfectly fine- freshman/sophomore year don’t have nearly as much weight as Junior/Senior year. </p>

<p>Really, I think you’re good to go!</p>
