[quote=Anonymous]SAT 1350, only EC were school sports teams and a job. Had a couple of B's and even a C in honors chem.  Only AP was APUSH (scored a 5!).

I was in honors pre-calculus junior year and decided it was too much homework with sports and a new job so I asked by counselor in passing a week after the second semester if I could drop pre-calculus and she let me without notifying my parents. I don't think they would have cared since they never noticed I dropped the class. The job wasn't a necessity, it was just a fun place to hang out and get paid. I look back and regret dropping out since it knocked my out of considering STEM majors. I had gotten straight A's in every math class I took so I still am puzzled the counselor didn't at least try to persuade me. She said I had met the math requirement for colleges since I had 3 1/2 years of math (including algebra in 8th, which was the very highest track at my school).

In at UCLA, Berkeley, UCSD, and UC Davis.  I didn't apply anywhere else. [/quote]
