<p>Haha, not really. LOL. So anyways, I was just wondering how much Ivy League schools or schools with comparable acceptance rates care about honors courses compared to APs. I come from public high school in CA, ranked about top 100 or 200 in the country. I have a much lower GPA (4.58 or like 4.6) than most students who attend Ivy League schools from my high school only because I did not take many honors courses freshman and sophomore year (I didn't take spanish 3 honors, algebra 2 honors, geometry honors, world history honors (took it as a summer school class but it was still regular)). Here are my courses year by year</p>

<p>I also participated in my school's science fair jr. year and students that do that usually are in a weighted science research class but I entered it too late to change my schedule. I basically completed the class w/o getting credit for it. </p>
<p>My question is how much will my chances be hurt by the fact that I didn't take the freshman and sophomore year honors classes, normally taken by top students, even though I took I took the same or maybe even harder classes as a junior/senior?
Thanks!</p>
