Questions about course rigor?

Applying to College
1

<p>So I'll be applying to college next year and am aiming for the top tier. UNFORTUNATELY, I developed a severe medical condition in sophomore year (that has been resolved). I missed days/weeks of school, and as a result, my GPA dropped to a 90 unweighted. </p>

<p>I was in all-honors, but had to drop Honors Algebra II because of the medical problem and ended up with an 80 in CP (average level). </p>

<p>As a result, my classes for junior year reflected this. 2 AP's are the limit in my school. This is my junior year schedule-is it way too easy?</p>

<p>AP Gov-99
AP Lang-94
Hon. US II-95
Hon. Physics-94 (this is the honors senior course-only 20 juniors take physics-most take chem)
CP Pre-Calc-92 (Couldn't go to honors after last year)
Spanish IV-95 (couldn't be in honors bc skipped last year, when i focused on Chinese, but then school cancelled Chinese for this year.</p>

<p>So that's my schedule-I had a lot of bad luck, do I still have a chance at top schools? My GC will explain the medical problem in her rec.</p>

<p>Next year, I am taking one of the hardest courseloads in the history of my school-got special approval from principal.</p>

<p>AP Lit, AP Stats, AP Bio, Chinese III, Psych (College course), Sociology (College Course).</p>

<p>If the medical condition and the reason for you taking CP Pre-Calc this year are documented, then it shouldn’t affect you much, if at all.</p>

<p>It’ll be provided for-I have medical records, absences, etc. My GC will explain everything, but I’m still worried. Everything else is good-I’m a published author, proficient in 4 languages, 2300, etc but this is my weak spot.</p>

<p>It will also affect my rank too, probably.</p>

<p>more opinions?</p>

<p>I agree with notanengineer; if this condition is documented you really shouldn’t have a problem- for dealing with something serious, you seem to have done very well, so you should still be a very strong applicant.</p>
