<p>ANY input at all will be greatly appreciated! Thank you!</p>
<p>Decent, I think you've got a chance</p>
<p>Too bad your school screwed you over with AP classes though...that sucks.</p>
<p>Aww...I was hoping for a definitive "yes" response...hehe</p>
<p>Our school's schedule is based on a "block system." Thus, the students take only take 4 classes per semester. The AP classes themselves are held throughout the entire year, therefore, we obviously would not be able to take more than 3 or 4 AP's total. Nonetheless, I think the fact that I have been a member within my school's "Honors Program" throughout my entire high school career may have some positive implicataions that can overshadow this.</p>
<p>Much thanks for your reply... I really appreciate it.</p>
<p>I definitely does...and don't worry too much about the AP thing...my school also has limited APs, and I was also only able to take 5 (and I'm rockin' NU right now...). Just make sure your guidance counselor indicates that you took full advantage of all your school has to offer, and you should be fine in that respect.</p>
<p>Thanks for your input. I'll definitely be sure to let me counselor know to do that when he is filling out my recommendation.</p>
<p>I'm sure the Honors thing would definitely make a difference!</p>
<p>Sorry I can't give a definitive answer. If NWU hired me as adcom, I think I'd accept everyone...so that'll probably never happen.</p>
