<p>Worries:
Definitely the downward grade slump in the math classes. The math classes at this university are arranged into 2 sequences: the Honors 160 sequence, the basic honors sequence, and the Honors 190 sequence, which is basically like the hardest undergraduate math sequence here. Only those really into math take it and it's not even required for a math degree. The entire sequence is proof-based analysis and requires about 40hrs/wk of work. I know I should have listened to my parents and dropped the class a long time ago but I don't really know why I am not. I just really like the subject even though I have no intention of pursuing math as a career.</p>
<p>I'm mainly looking for any advice on how I stand with regards to Yale, Johns Hopkins, Princeton, Cornell, Stanford, MIT, and Northwestern. Any thoughts will be appreciated!
Thanks so much!!!!</p>
