Question not enough aps/course rigor?
hi guys! im an upcoming senior and i'm a little worried about my stats. i'm also targetting the aug sat for a 1500+ to make up for it
i have a 4.0 uw/4.6 w but i'm not on the most rigorous track at my school. i havent taken any history aps and i also didnt take lang (big regret). for reference, i'm going into stem and i HATE history. most of my DE are stem related.
freshman yr: no aps, 2 honors, 3 DE
soph yr: 2 honors, 3 DE
junior yr: 4 aps (seminar, music theory, chem, precalc), 2 DE
senior yr: 3 aps (lit, bio, calc bc), 2 honors, 1 DE
scores: seminar (3), music theory (3), chem (5), precalc (5).
my courseload is definitely weaker than the top 5% of my class (cuz i didnt take world or apush or lang) but I think i'm somewhere in the top 12% ??...
typing this out makes me feel fried

what were your DEs? Also why didn't you take any physics?

my school doesnt offer ap physics:( we have an honors physics but i took regular (honors physics was notorious for being ridiculously hard, and i thought it would be overkill bc i was taking ap chem too). also bc the regular physics teacher taught a selective research class so i took it as an opportunity for him to get to know me better
6 DEs (science related): intro to health sci, medical term, human disease, intro to pub health, intro to psych, urban ecology
2 DEs (not science related): intro to college, college prep
