[quote=Anonymous]Alright, so I'm an incoming high school senior, and I really want to go to Lock Haven. Here are my grades for these past 3 years:

Freshman:
English 9 HP: A/A
Freshman Seminar: A/A
Biology HP: A/A
Algebra 1: B/B
1st-year P.E.: A/A
French 1: A/A

Sophomore:
English 10 HP: A/A
World History AP: A/A(and I got a 5 on the AP exam)
Chemistry P: A/B
Geometry B: A/B
2nd-year P.E.: A/A
French 2: A/A

Junior:
English 11 AP: A/A
US History AP: A/A
Biology AP: A/A
Algebra 2 P: B/A
Spanish 1: A/A
French 3: A/A

I also took the SAT and got a perfect score on the reading and writing sections, and I did okay on the math section. My GPA comes out to a 3.86.

So as you can see, math is clearly not my strongest subject. I'm a year behind in it, and got B's 4 semesters of it. This year I will be taking:

English 12 AP
Econ AP
Physics P
Pre-Calculus P
Spanish 2
French 4 HP

I really wanted to take Pre-Calculus this summer so I could take AP Calculus AB my senior year, but my teacher didn't okay it, as I wasn't in honors and I didn't get an A both semesters. I've heard from other classmates that it's really important to have AP Calculus on your transcript when applying to colleges.  I'll be applying to colleges other than Lock Haven of course, such as Edinboro UP, Beth Medrash Govoha, University of Maina, University of New Hampshire, and I'm worried about what these colleges will think when they see I don't have AP Calculus on my transcript. Is it really a deal-breaker? Can I get into any of these colleges?[/quote]
