8-9 AP Classes and Not Mediocre Schools alright?

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>First off, let me post my schedule.</p>

<p>Freshman year: The nincompoop year. I vegetated and did nothing productive. Took the normal (advanced/accelerated) classes everyone on the honors route took. High nineties unweighted.
ACC Bio, ACC Geometry, ADV English 9, ADV Global 1, ADV French 2, took Web Design for kicks the second half of the year.
It should be noted that there are no APs offered to Freshmen.</p>

<p>Sophomore (this year): Argued quite a bit to take AP Bio because of lack of chemistry.
AP Bio
ACC Chem
ACC Algebra II/Trig
ADV English 10
ADV Global 2
ADV French 3
Health 2nd semester
(possibly self study ap psycology between this year and next yearish)
Screwed myself over in English/Global and brought grade down to around the mid 90s.</p>

<p>Junior (projected):
AP Chemistry
ACC Physics
Precalc
AP English Language
AP Macro
SUNY French 4
<em>Empty space, I have no idea what to take</em>
I initially wanted to shove Human Biology taken at a community college nearby, but I'm not old enough to drive myself there. </p>

<p>Senior (projected):
AP Physics
AP Calc AB
AP Stats
AP English Literature
AP USH
SUNY French 5
<em>Empty space again</em>
I could probably take a course at a community college nearby...</p>

<p>So that's my load of 9 APs tops. I would really love to get into Brown or Cornell, but I'm not sure if my AP load is rigorous enough. I'm hoping for good scores on all of them. What's the average number of APs people who get into ivies take? I know APs aren't the most important thing, but just a general number would be great! </p>

<p>Also, I would like to see if anyone else is in the same situation: My school offers technically unlimited AP courses. We have a system where if we don't offer a course, you can take it at a community college. My school doesn't offer Calc BC, Physics B/Physics C, AP Languages but they're offered at the colleges... Does it look bad that I'm not in those classes?</p>

<p>I write a lot, my apologies. TT_TT</p>

<p>Not at all, unless you blatantly chose not to do so multiple times.</p>

3

<p>Consider yourself fortunate; my school has 1 AP. One. I think you look fine, though.</p>

4

<p>9 is more than fine. I’m going to have five by the time I graduate (if you count physics c and economics as two a piece, then it’d be 7, I guess), and I still consider myself in a decent situation for Cornell.
To me, as long as you take APs in the subjects you like, you’re set. But that’s just me.</p>

5

<p>That’s more than fine! We aren’t allowed to take AP’s until Junior year and even then we’re capped at two.</p>

6

<p>(shudder) My school ALLOWS us to take APs starting in sophomore year. I didn’t take any until junior year, and even then only two. I’m aiming pretty high with schools, too… I guess I can get a few points from the fact that AP classes here aren’t seen as being much harder than honors.</p>

7

<p>We’re technically not allowed to take APs in sophomore, but you can worm your way in. But my fear is that my school’s basically like the sky’s the limit with the amount of college courses… and I’m taking lunch if I can’t find any AP to take… And I know someone who’s managing to get 13. But she’s probably the only one who’s taken the incentive. </p>

<p>@FastNeutrino: Ahaha, so that means I’m not doing anything besides the standard AP history classes! Oh how I hate thee, history (rhyme rhyme~!)~</p>
