AP's AP's AP's Help!!!

Colleges and Universities A-Z Harvard University
1

<p>hey all,</p>

<p>this year (my junior year), I will be taking teh following courses:</p>

<p>AP US history
AP Biology
AP European history (I wanted AP stats but it was booked).
Honors math
Regular English
Latin</p>

<p>Is this selection of courses:
a) doable
b) impressive for Harvard/Yale/Princeton</p>

<p>and do colleges view most AP's the same way?
(for example in my case, do they regard AP Euro and AP Stats the same?)</p>

<p>Help will be appreciated!</p>

<p>Thanks,
Joey</p>

<p>I thought you were a senior.</p>

3

<p>nope... Im a Junior</p>

4

<p>Yes, those are doable. But idk about the "impressive" part.</p>

5

<p>how so? is it because of the regular level English?</p>

6

<p>You should take enough Aps to become National AP Scholar - thats impressive IMO.</p>

7

<p>how many do you need to become a national AP scholar?</p>

8

<p>You don't need to become a national ap scholar.</p>

<p>Take as many as you can manage.</p>

<p>heh, any one can just "sign up" for AP classes, but to do well in them and Score a 5 on the AP exam will look good to colleges like that</p>

10

<p>you need a total of 8 AP exams with an average of 4 on all of those exams. And adcoms DO get impressed by National AP scholsrs.</p>

<p>It's expected that you'll take AP classes (if they're available to you) and do well in them; but becoming a National AP Scholar and/or getting 5s on multiple AP tests is kind of like being in the National Honor Society--it seems like it's becoming a common denominator among Harvard applicants and, consequently, acceptees. </p>

<p>Anyway, it's more important that you succeed in the class than that you 'ace' the test. Grades are more important.</p>
