<p>Hey all. I've been a good student throughout HS. Got all A's fresh and soph years. But now I'm really concerned because my grades this year (I'm a junior) have dropped. I started taking a lot of AP classes this year and I have one more academic course (one less elective) this year. For those of you who know about college admissions well, be honest here, have I really dug myself into a hole??? Here are my grades/courses:</p>
<p>FRESHMAN YEAR</p>
<p>"Accelerated" Bio (there is no honors bio at my school, just AP, which you can't take until you take a first year bio course)----91</p>
<p>"Accelerated" Algebra II (there is an honors course, but I just missed the grade cutoff in 8th grade to get into it)----92</p>
<p>World Cultures Honors----95</p>
<p>"Accelerated" Spanish II (no honors/AP until spanish IV)---91</p>
<p>English I Honors---95</p>
<p>Journalism (semester elective course)---94</p>
<p>Intro to Business (semester elective course)---97</p>
<p>Computer Applications (semester elective course)----99</p>
<p>SOPHOMORE YEAR</p>
<p>Chemistry Honors (yes there is an honors for chem)---90</p>
<p>"Accelerated" Geometry---95</p>
<p>English II Honors---91</p>
<p>"Accelerated" Spanish III---95</p>
<p>AP European History---93, and a 4 on the AP exam</p>
<p>Fine Arts I (full year elective)---93</p>
<p>The Arts Through Time (full year elective)----95</p>
<p>(I needed to fulfill my arts requirements so I figured I should get it out of the way early)</p>
<p>JUNIOR YEAR~grades as of now</p>
<p>AP Chemistry---88</p>
<p>AP US History I---93</p>
<p>AP Language and Composition---91</p>
<p>Precalculus Honors (I moved up this year)---90</p>
<p>AP Spanish IV---90</p>
<p>Physics Honors---85</p>
<p>Probability (semester elective)---98</p>
<p>SENIOR YEAR~anticipated courses as of now...</p>
<p>AP Bio, AP Lit and Comp, AP US II, AP Calc AB, Human Bio (elective), Organic Chem (elective), AP Spanish V</p>

<p>Thanks for those who sat there and read all of this, I'm just really concerned about my grades. It's not like I'm not trying, I am. It's just harder for me to do well this year, and I know I have heard from a lot of people that a grade drop, especially in jr year, is a serious red flag to admissions officers....so anybody who knows about college admissions, please tell me what you think about my situation.</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
