Background information:
I'm curious as to how that would effect my application or whether it would matter at all. Are my classes weighted differently due to their rigor? Are they not? Does the Academy take into consideration the amount of programs at my school, and as a result the competitiveness of my class?
I'm ranked 98/608 students in my class, however I am limited on the amount of classes I can take by the college where as my traditional peers are able to take more via online classes (which I am no longer able to take.) So, I can't do to much to improve my class rank besides to continue working hard in my classes. A majority of those above me are taking easier classes.
In case it matters, I take 18 credit hours every semester. By the time I graduate I'll have taken College Algebra, College Pre-Calc, College Trig, Calc 1 w/ Analytical Geometry, Calc 2, General Physics 1, Gen Chem 1, and Organic Chem 1. If per say, I were to be accepted into the Academy, would I have to retake these courses?
Sorry for the not-so-cohesive post, my minds kind of everywhere right now, waiting on the Summer Seminar yay or nay and submitted my PCQ earlier today (I'm anxious).
Thanks a ton,
Rebekah
