<p>I'm really scared that I'm going to fail out of honors chem which will take me out of honors physics for junior year. My school doesnt offer any APs so this is my only chance to take a vigorous course. There are only 3 honors classes: History, Math, and Science. If i'm not in all three will they consider me? Please let me know if they will, and if not, what type of schools will??</p>
<p>I have a good friend who did take Honors/AP History and maybe Honors English…that’s all…and he is going to UMich! So that’s pretty good, right? Good luck though. Sorry I can’t help more.</p>
<p>All elite schools will say they want applicants who are taking the most rigorous schedule available to them. However, if all but one of your classes are the highest level, it won’t be a death blow. I think the bigger issue here is failing out of the honors program - are you likely to receive a C or F in your science class this year? I see that as being an issue. Also - are you saying there are only three honors level classes available in your entire school, or just in the next year?</p>
<p>The answer to your last question depends greatly upon details you didn’t include. The vast majority of schools will consider a student who took something slightly less than most rigorous, but a 1600 on the SAT will impose some limits. What are your boards? GPA?</p>
<p>ETA: I want to clarify what I said in the first paragraph. Although not a death blow, taking less than most rigorous will be an obstacle. Most Ivy League applicants will have completed college work by high school graduation and many will have taken several AP courses (some have taken fifteen or more). Not ALL applicants will have this resume, but many will and I want you to realize this.</p>
