Hi,
Currently my daughter is sophomore and in her school only 1 AP in Sophomore she can take, in Junior 2 AP’s she can take, but she didn’t get in to AP eng Lit even though she had A-. In Senior she may take 4 AP courses and going to do a AP course out of school. Will it affect her getting in to good college since she is taking only 1 Ap course and all other course are honors course in Sophomore. Please some one help, so confused
She will not be faulted for not taking AP’s that are not offered or unable to get into As long as she takes a rigorous course schedule in comparison to her other classmates she will be fine. My younger son did not get into 2 AP classes he wanted Senior year and I contacted the vice principal to voice my concern that there were not enough AP classes needed for the number of students eligible and suddenly a few months later, he got into the classes. Be a squeaky wheel.
Thanks, she is going to take ap us history and all the other honors courses in her class, also she is going to do ap bio course individually, because her school allows them to take only in senior yr.
Thanks for replying @ gumbymom
The part which I was annoyed with the school is some kids got ap English even though they had low grades than my daughter 
If students got recommended with lower grades, I would definitely ask the GC why.
Thanks,My daughter talked to the GS as soon as she the schedule, she said after looking her grades and PSAT ( she was on the 99th percentile in English) scores she can take AP English and she wrote all the courses which she can take as senior, but her English teacher didn’t recommend her. She say maybe she will consider in June ( I am pretty sure it won’t happen), today we send mail to advisor and she says to talk to her teacher, but daughter is thinking may be the teacher will get annoyed,and won’t allow even to take another AP course as senior.
Do you think we can bug the teacher again or will they get annoyed?
She goes to a private catholic school.
As above- she needs to be the squeaky wheel. Notice it is best if SHE does the work at this stage. Also as above- do not worry about taking every top/most rigorous class- schedules often do not allow for that.
At my daughter’s first high school, a very competitive public school, virtually no one took an AP before junior year. You had to exhaust the honors classes first and that meant the top students took all honors the first two years, and then started with the APs junior year. This is a school that sends kids to the Ivies, Duke, Stanford, etc. every year, even though the graduating class usually has about 150 kids. So no, your school’s policy won’t hurt your daughter at all if she continues to take the most rigorous classes available to her, and does well in them.
Thanks
She will be compared to the students at her school – how many AP courses are allowed there, and the norm there, and how that impacts class rank. As long as this does not set her back much compared to other students or risk affecting her class rank (with weighted APs, e.g.), then I wouldn’t worry about it.
Thanks all for the comments, feeling much relieved 
Despite what you read on some of these threads, few students take AP courses before junior year. AP courses are supposed to replicate college courses, so it makes sense that older students are the ones taking them. Additionally, most AP courses have prerequisites that must be fulfilled; there aren’t that many freshman taking AP Calc and Physics C.
As an aside, the AP courses that do often have freshman and sophs, Human Geography and World History, are also courses that fewer top colleges give credit for.
Having said that, she should push to get into the AP English class.
Hoping for the best, definitely push her for AP, will be behind the teacher, thanks
Agree with comments above.
I do think it is fine for your D to talk to the teacher as long as it is done with the right attitudes. If she goes in angry and entitled that won’t work. But if she is polite and mature, asks to understand why the recommendation was made, and asks what she can work on/try to improve going forward so she might get into an AP senior year I would think that would be fine. I would not emphasize the “looks good for college” aspect but rather that she enjoys English and wants to be challenged in the subject.
IIRC, one question that colleges ask is “Did the student take the most rigorous curriculum that was available?” I think the adcom relies on the guidance counselor’s response to that question. I don’t think it’s necessary to take AP’s in sophomore year, but can help in giving flexibility in course selection in later years. My kids didn’t take AP’s in sophomore year. I admit I was annoyed when my son decided not to take the AP Government course in senior year because he had so many AP’s aside from that. Then he and the teacher didn’t get along (I think he tried to blow off the course) and he got a B in his NON-AP Gov course. I don’t know if any lessons were learned, but his life has played out well despite this!
