Hi @west017
I’m going to be sophomore next year and I have taken AP World History last year,
This year I’m going to take AP Lang, APUSH, AP Calc AB, AP Calc BC, APES,
and AP psych which are some of the classes you already took. My school is
recognized nationally and I think that since your taking 7 AP’s which is btw a lot,
you have a pretty good chance of getting in to your flagship. Also you have a lot of extracurriculars
and community service which is great. I would focus on your GPA and SAT scores
which are on the lower side of their admissions. But since you’re planning on
retaking the SAT you should be fine. Depending on what your going to Major in
it might be a good idea to take another math course like AP Calc or Stats.

Congrats on a 4!! I’m still waiting to hear about my scores, and the anxiety is killing me.

Good luck on UW!
