<p>I'm in my junior year now and the searching for colleges is getting a little stressful. For one i just left a very highly regarded private school because it wasn't for me and transferred to a public school. Although the courses are very rigorous, they do denote their classes as honors level nor do they use GPA. My grades there were straight B+'s which isnt bad for that school and will put you on honor roll. The problem is now at my public school, which is obviously much easier, they're being annoying about transferring my grades. For one, they refuse to give me honors credit even though it is obvious I deserve it. Im taking all honors classes at the school and have straight A's so obviously the other school was much harder. Anyways, instead of receiving honors credit I'm receiving advanced for my freshman and sophomore classes that will make my weighted lower than it should be. The good news is that my diagnostic SAT's have been respectable around 2000 after having done my math prep but no critical reading or writing yet.
So I was wondering with the stats below what my chances would be (public schools are all out of state) also would a note explaining the situation help considering my GPA is not great.</p>
