<p>I want to major in economics at any ivy league </p>
<p>Sophomore: AP European History (and AP Micro/Macroeconomics) </p>
<p>Junior: AP US History, AP Calculus BC, AP Chemistry (and AP Micro/Macroeconomics) </p>
<p>Senior: AP Spanish Language, AP Physics C, AP Statistics (and AP Micro/Macroeconomics) </p>
<p>I'm not sure when I should take AP Micro/Macroeconomics. Any recommendations? Thats 9 out of 15 AP's my school offers. Are these good enough for ivy league?</p>
<p>I recommend taking more APs the year that you don’t take AP Micro/Macro. Three just doesn’t cut it. :D</p>
<p>Aps only won’t get you into ivy leagues.</p>
<p>Better have good ECs!</p>
<p>And good grades in those APs</p>
<p>There’s a lot more to get into an ivy league than grades. They don’t want robots.</p>
<p>
Though the Ivy schools usually have good programs in most of their departments, there are other schools out there that have even better Economics programs than those of the Ivy League. Also, the Ivy League tend to not accept applicants who want to attend an Ivy League for the sake of attending an Ivy League. In other words, they don’t those who are obsessed with prestige.</p>
<p>To answer your question, it’s a good idea during Senior year to have 5 AP classes at any given day.</p>
<p>1) Make sure the ivies are a good fit for you. Don’t just assume that you like an ivy because it’s prestigious! There are plenty of prestigious schools that might fit better.</p>
<p>2) If you take APs don’t overdo it. For them to be impressive, you need good grades and good scores on the AP tests.</p>
<p>3) 3 APs but awesome ecs is better than 9 APs and ok/good ecs. A lot more goes into the decision than APs alone.</p>
<p>You have the motivation to get into the ivies and other top schools, so take the toughest courses that you can handle. If that means all 9 APs, great! If that means 4 or 5 APs, that’s great, too. Good luck!</p>
