<p>Do Universities require that students have AP or Honors courses in High School for admission? I am thinking that taking them in High school would boost chances at some popular schools but are they a requirement at all universities for admission? Thanks.</p>
<p>You are correct. AP and honors courses are not required for admission, but will certainly be in your favor if applying to higher ranked schools.</p>
<p>This is something that comes up with homeschoolers since many are worried about having the right credentials. There are always some who get into top schools without APs. The key is to have something to show what you did instead of spending time on AP classes.
