<p>A few questions:</p>
<p>Will not filling my schedule junior year hurt me? Too many study halls, colleges see me as slacking .? Also, Honors English in 11th is the highest English we can take in 11th and is harder than AP English in 12th. AP Chemistry is the hardest class in the school (only 1 out of 50 got an A there were some Bs, lots of Cs, and several lower). Idk how colleges could know this and it worries me .</p>
<p>Will a lack of APs hurt me? Only 2 and then 3 planned .</p>
<p>Would not taking AP Calculus junior year hurt me?</p>
<p>Would my low Math II score hurt me? Only a 640. I struggle with SAT math for some reason, but do well in math and math-related classes usually. Considering taking the ACT for this reason.</p>
<p>Any feedback would be great. Good or bad, Ill take it. And thanks all!</p>
