I'm a sophomore and this year I'm taking all honors and ap. I'm taking:
Honors Alg. 2
Honors Eng.
AP US Hist.
Spanish 3
Culinary Arts
Honors Bio.

Honors English and AP US History are co-hort classes. Meaning, if I drop out of one, I have to drop out of the other one.

I understand colleges are looking for students who are taking advance classes in High School, but for some reason, I'm not doing very well in history. I don't seem to have time to take notes on chapters of the American Pageant so I use the internet. I know I shouldn't be doing this, but I am having a hard time managing my time with other homework and after school activities. We get to use our notes for quizzes which are always pop-quizzes and I do poorly on them, C or lower. The reason being is that I don't have very good vocabulary skills so I have a hard time understanding the questions. Also, I'm a poor writer, I was never good at writing and I understand that writing is a big part of ap. Should I drop out?

Ok so I am in all special ed/ foundation classes. Math, science, english, spanish, and history. Also study skills. Now lets say I get all A+ on my report cards for the 4 years strait and my friend in all regular classes not foundation gets A+ 4 years strait. If we both apply to the same college would they decline my because I am in foundation and he would make it? How would my foundation look on a college application? Would it say the subject and if its foundation or not or would it just say the class? Like would the college see Algeo or algebra? Will these foundation classes really affect me from getting into colleges even if I get good grades? Does it determine the school or what?

in closing, no one ever pointed out who was of a lower class, just due to the fact that your class does not determine who you are as a person. it truely isnt that important.

My average for grades 9 trought 12 is around 75%. I don't know what kind of GPA it gives, but I am sure it's pretty low. I tried to explain that to my father but he just yells at me and says not only geniuses get accepted there and I have to apply to all of them. Now the thing is he wants me to only apply there, and no safety school. I told him it is unrealistic and that even people with the best GPAs at my school still apply for a safety school.

He just says he don't care. I told him my counselor told us about the grades required to get in there and he told me he only wants us all to go to a University, no matter how bad it is, so that his school can write most of their students got accepted to a University, and he said the counselor doesn't care about the students.

No matter what I tell him, he keeps yelling and saying I will be accepted and I have to stop saying I am horrible, and then he gives me examples and says thousands of students get accepted there each year, and that it's impossible that each of them is a genius. What am I supposed to do? I want to at least apply to some less selective places but he wants me only to apply there and is 100% sure I will get in, no matter what I tell him.

I might be going to Ivy Tech but I was wondering if anyone knew of a college where I could take all my classes online for the Associates of Science for an RN license? If anyone knows anything please let me know. It would be really hard to have to go to a school when I might be able to do it here from home?

THANK YOU for your time!
