<p>I'm starting scheduling for my senior year next week. I'm wondering how do I know if the amount of AP classes I take is enough to boost my college applications? I took 3 this year (Lang, Us History, and Psych) and that was almost to the point of over kill.
What do you all recommend when it comes to these classes? I want to succeed but I don't want to over do it. </p>
<p>Thank you :)</p>

<p>What schools are you looking at, what is your intended major and what APs are you considering taking?</p>
<p>I am looking at some in state schools. West Virginia University, Marshall University, and West Virginia Wesleyan College to major in psychology. I’m looking into taking AP Statistics and US Government.</p>
<p>You should be fine, none of those schools are super/crazy competitive and both of those APs are known for being reasonable. You should also consider AP Lit, if you did not find AP Lang too hard, I have heard that it too is very reasonable.</p>
<p>I will look into it. Thank you so much for the pointers.</p>
<p>I would rather you take AP calc AB/BC instead of AP lit. Two English AP’s seem lop-sided with no math (unless school doesn’t offer).</p>
<p>If you want to go to WVU don’t bother with APs, just don’t flunk your classes and you should be fine.</p>
<p>I was unable to take the prerequisite for AP Calc AB (what my school offers) so that sadly isn’t an option, but as previously mentioned I am more than likely taking AP Statistics.</p>
<p>Thank you for the tip about WVU. I know very little about their academics so any info is a huge help :)</p>
