@wisteria100 I heard that colleges care about class rigor as well, I have taken literally every difficult class (AP Chem, AP Bio, AP Calc, etc) that was available in my school (albeit a B, B+ average for all my classes 
). Does that help the low GPA a little because I would have taken 14 AP’s by the end of highschool, all being moderately difficult (think not Psych or some other class like that). Thank you for the honesty regardless, College of the Holy Cross looks exceptionally good although it’s a Catholic college, but I think I could get used to that given I don’t care too much about religion.
