<p>The past three years I have gone to a very small private school; long story short, I am leaving the school and going to a public school for senior year. </p>
<p>Is having a half-day schedule for senior year a "con" for college admissions?</p>
<p>The private school did not offer AP courses, </p>
<p>will colleges know that for the first three years of High School I did not have those options?</p>
<p>Colleges want to see that you took the most challenging program available--you can make clear to them in your app what was available and reasons for your choices.</p>
<p>aisg..., that isn't what the OP says about his options. He says he didn't take APs because his small private didn't offer them. As a separate issue, he asks whether if he takes a few AP classes but he's only on campus for a 1/2 day will that look bad.</p>
