Next year I am studying abroad in Chile for my entire senior year. I am very worried, though, that I won't get into Clemson because I will not have a chance to take all the AP courses I would have taken if I wasn't studying abroad. I haven't taken my SATs or ACT but got a 200 (out of 240) on the PSAT as a sophmore, so hopefully that will go up this year when I take it for real as a junior.
By the end of this year, I will have taken (I won't bother to list my freshman courses):
English: College Prep Composition, Argumentation, Issues in Modern Literature, American Lit. Enriched, Online British Lit (had to take it online because of the study abroad thing)
Science: Biology, Physics, and Chemistry all enriched, but no AP's!!
Math: through Pre-Calculus
History: Global Issues, Government Online, Economics Online, and AP US History
Spanish: Through AP Spanish
I have a 4.0 gpa, but this is with only 2 AP classes.
I'm in a fair amount of activities (school plays, choir, NHS, volunteer tour guide)
Plus I just started a lifeguarding job.
Should I not study abroad so that I can get in my AP courses?
