<p>Jesus. I took AP Euro, AP Psych, and AP Bio. So the only thing I'm eligible for is AP Bio? Next year I'm taking AP Physics C (not B, thank god!), AP Calculus BC (I hope I at least get a 3), AP Micro/Macro Econ (would only get credit if I'm an economics major??), and AP Computer Science A.</p>
<p>So out of all that, no cred for AP Euro, AP Psych, ok I'm content lol.</p>
<p>Don't count on getting credit for AP Micro. Professor Hamilton is loathe to award credit for any class taken outside of the Hopkins econ department, never mind outside of JHU. </p>
<p>You can still get credit for econ if you're not a major. If you are a major, however, that credit can't count towards your major requirements.</p>
<p>I've never understood why taking every possible AP exam is a good thing. Take it easy, kids. I got into a bunch of top schools and I only took the AP calc exam. My calculus class didn't follow a strict AP curriculum and wasn't designated an AP course (it was actually much tougher). And it wasn't for lack of AP courses -- virtually every one of our 18 departments offered them. In fact, my school was one of the original three high schools that developed the AP program. The Advanced Placement program may be valuable in some respects, but I think it has become a terribly flawed and inequitable system.</p>
<p>The only thing I see wrong with the AP program is, most of the public high schools around my area let anyone take an AP class - all you have to do is take the core classes which come before it; such as English I, II, III, then they allow you to jump to AP English (just an example). Most of the kids who go to the public schools around me take at least 3 AP exams, and they shouldn't qualify for them, because they get Ds and Fs in the regular courses.</p>
<p>I wish my school would do this.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, I go to a private school, and the only way you can go into an AP class (freshmen not included), is if you're in the top 35% of your class (class rank 1 to 100), grades B or better in Honors Programs, A or better in regular programs, and gpa above 3.5</p>
<p>Also, my school only offers a few AP courses, and usually class rank # 1 - 30 take them: AP European (Sophomores / Juniors), AP US (Juniors / Seniors), AP Micro/Macro Econ (1 class - two ap courses in one - Juniors sometimes accepted, Seniors recommended), AP US Gov (Seniors), AP Psychology (Juniors/Seniors), AP Spanish Lang. (Juniors if you have 3 years or native speaker, Seniors recommended), AP French (Seniors, only one junior to ever take it, which is really just Honors French IV, AP Exam optional), AP Computer A (Juniors/Seniors, one year of programming req.), AP Computer AB (Seniors, Ap comp a req. junior year), AP Chemistry (Juniors only, Honors Chem req.), AP Biology (Seniors no juniors, i'm the only junior to take it), AP Physics C (No B class, Seniors only), AP English Lit and Lang (Seniors only).</p>
<p>So yeah, unless I'm taking all APs senior year, theres no chance I can "take them all," as you stated - but the ones I can take during junior year you need straight As in the core classes, and the ones I'm taking senior year need Bs in the APs i'm taking junior year.</p>
<p>Sorry if this post is confusing / if I'm ranting.</p>
