No Honors Science or Math????

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I go to a well-regarded and competitive arts school, and have good grades.</p>

<p>-White, Male
-4.0 Unweighted GPA, 4.93 Weighted
-Rank: 15/110
-SAT R: 700, W: 690, M: 630
-Okay ECs. Mostly dedicated hobbies, not a lot of awards or clubs.
-Decent counselor rec, outstanding teacher recs.</p>

<p>Problem: Very poor math and science record. I have Earth Science Regulars, Biology Regulars, Chemistry Regulars, and finally this year, Physics Honors. Math record kind of sucks too: Algebra I Regulars, Geometry Honors, Algebra II Honors. That's it. I stopped and didn't take a math past Algebra II. They're all "A"s, but still......</p>

<p>My senior courseload:</p>

<p>-AP English Lit
-Physics Honors
-Creative Writing 3 (!!!!!!!) Honors
-America Gov/Econ Honors
(we only take four classes senior year, then music classes for the remaining ~4 hours).</p>

<p>I don't want to be a music major, and yet I don't want to be a math/science major either. Btw, I sent my transcripts out, so it'd be a pain to switch to another math. But Creative Writing looks pretty bad, doesn't it? What should I do? I'm not appyling to any of the Ivies or anything, but do I still have a good shot at a decent school? Am I just stressing for nothing? I hear that ALL colleges want a math past Algebra II, but I'm not going into math.</p>

<p>Depends on what schools you are looking at. Most of the top school like 4 years of math, at whatever level.</p>

<p>^ Yea, it definitely depends on what colleges you're applying to. But, most students - regardless of whether they want to be a math major or not - tend to take up to AP Calculus AB and BC and some take AP Stats as well. So, it definitely depends on the school.</p>

<p>ughhh......guess i'm screwed then.</p>

<p>bump</p>

<p>this is really freaking me out</p>

<p>Is there any way you can still take a math course this year? I really recommend that you do. From what I've seen, one senior that I knew two years ago went up to Pre-Calc and the best school he got into was UC Davis and he had a very similar SAT scores as you though I'm not sure about his school GPA.</p>

<p>ughhhhhh no. quarter grades are already out, and if i went into math, i'd have a "0"</p>
