AP Confusion...

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>I'm having a lot of regrets about not taking two SS APs offered at my school. I had some scheduling conflicts, but the main reason I didn't take them was because I thought they were too much work. Then I saw ALL my friends taking them and i began to think otherwise...
At my high school, AP Human Geography is offered freshman year. Sophomore year (I'm a sophomore), AP Bio and AP World are offered. The problem is, I didn't take AP Human OR AP World. ALL of my friends took AP Human and are now taking AP World and AP Bio. I'm only taking AP Bio... so i have only 1 AP compared to 3, for most of my friends. Most of them are in the top 10, and I could have been if i would have taken those 2 SS APs. I'm 13/803...So, I was wondering how many APs I should take junior year.
I'm on the math/science pathway, so I have to take these junior year:
AP Calc BC
AP Physics
Should i take AP Lang junior or senior year?
APUSH...idk if the work will be too much...I've heard it isn't TOO bad</p>

<p>I'm REALLY regretting not taking those 2 APs, because i know i could have handled it, and i could have had a higher GPA right now..I'm just wondering if I can still get into UGA Honors, because I really want to go there. If I get a high SAT, etc. do you think it's still possible. Because I know they look at the rigor of your transcript, and the classes offered at your school vs. what you took.... HELP PLEASE!!!!!</p>

<p>Unless your school is very different from mine, DO NOT even consider taking AP Lang senior year. Being the only senior in a class of juniors would be very, very awkward.</p>

<p>AP Confusion is really hard. I usually get a 4 or a 5 in most APs, but I only managed a 3 in this one :/</p>

<p>You could look into taking online APs to boost your rank</p>

<p>I was originally planning on taking AP Lang Senior year and APUSH junior year b/c it’s only offered junior year. I think I’ll also take one or two more relatively easy APs, like APES or AP Psych. But what do you guys think about getting into UGA Honors EA? I know I can pull off an SAT score high enough, and my GPA is a 4.0 so far…</p>

<p>@hellUVAchance: I was actually looking into taking APs online over the summer to boost my rank - but then I remembered that AP exams are in May, so I’ll have forgotten everything…any alternatives? Like maybe during the school year? That might be too much to handle though…</p>

<p>I’m floored. </p>

<p>I wish I could help with this, but… </p>

<p>I’ve taken literally every AP class my school offers, and it totals up to seven. (I did take an extra exam on my own so I will have 8 exams).</p>

<p>ANYWAY. You should take AP Lang or Lit. Lit is easy, Lang doesn’t seem too bad.</p>
