AP Econs unavailable at my school

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>As a rising senior obsessed with applied economics, I spend pretty much all of my time learning about the political/economic/social systems and how they really intertwine in the system that is civilization. The first thing colleges will see in my application is this devotion. I have been inside the Federal Reserve Bank of SF, the Fed Board of Governors, the Council on Foreign Relations, and Dow, Jones & Co. Inc. in pursuit of this purpose. Additionally, I have been invited to intern at RIT Capital Management (managed by the Rothschild family) when I turn 18.</p>

<p>However, my school does not have AP economics. And, I probably do not have the initiative to study for a fourth AP test outside of the 3 I already take in school.</p>

<p>I believe that my experience will compensate for my not taking an AP economics test, but will colleges think the same? Or should I just suck it up and prepare to self-study AP Macro/Micro?</p>

<p>Honestly, Macro and Micro are among some of the easiest AP tests to self-study IMO.
You should be fine.</p>

<p>Since I’d be testing after my application to college, how would I say I am self-studying? Would taking the tests in senior year even matter?</p>

4

<p>Actually, it only really matters if you want the credit.
Is it possible for you to do an independent study?</p>

5

<p>Like take an online/independent course? I could take the Honors program at my JC, but my schedule is already full. If it were independent, it’d have to be online.</p>

6

<p>A lot of kids with Ivy aspirations posting on CC are taking 5-6 APs in jr and sr years. Why is your schedule full with 3 APs?</p>

7

<p>Schools differ in terms of their rigor pwalsh as well as classes offered. Quality is better than quantity.</p>

<p>I wouldn’t worry about it. Not taking AP econ could just mean you were taking the chance to explore other subjects. Your EC’s are more than enough proof of your dedication. </p>

<p>If you don’t mind me asking, how did you get those internships?</p>
