<p>I was just looking through some Harvard posts and EVERYONE took around 5 APs sophmore year. Do their schools offer that many? Can all you Harvard hopefuls place your number of AP classes?</p>
<p>Heres mine:</p>
<p>Fresman: 0
Sophmore:1 Euro
Junior: 4 Spanish, English Lit, Bio, US History
Senior (hopeful):7 Chem, Phys, Eng Comp, EnvSci, Calculus BC, Govt, Economics</p>
<p>btw, all my AP classes are year-long except for Govt/Economics</p>
<p>My school does not allow AP's to be taken before one's Junior year.</p>
<p>My school offers two: European History and Calculus AB. They only allow seniors to take them, and after finishing Precalculus in tenth grade, I would have been forced to not take math in grade 11. Instead I took them at a local college. Real college classes seem so much better than AP :).</p>
<p>APs
Sophmore - 0
Junior - 3
Senior - 6</p>
<p>my school usually doesnt allow sophmores to take APs
Junior year my school offers AP English Language, AP U.S. History to anyone, but AP Chemistry only to those in accelerated track. I was on the regular science track so I could only take Honors Chemistry.</p>
<p>Senior Year my school offers the most AP classes:
Euro, Government, Economics (both micro and macro), Calculus BC, Calculus AB, Physics, Physics (mechanics only), Biology, English Literature, Computer Science, Latin, French, German, Spanish</p>
<p>I am a junior
9th- 0
10th- 0
11th- AP US History
12th- (probably) Govern, Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, Physics, Calculus, and Satistics
Also, I have to agree with alex, college classes are better
Dual Enrollment:
9th- 0
10th- 4
11th- 4
12th- probably none</p>
<p>would taking 6 ap classes senior year make up only 1 ap class for the 1st 3 years?</p>
<p>ivyguy, what's dual enrollment?</p>
<p>If there is a college nearby, you take classes there while in high school (of course you have to apply). I may be taking multivariable calc. and physics at Amherst this fall. You can either take 1-2 classes (or more) and the rest at HS, or all at college.</p>
<p>What college did u take it at?</p>
<p>Is it ok if I go to a community college?</p>
<p>I took/will take 6 classes at a community college and I will take 2 classes at Yale this summer, if I am accepted.</p>
<p>ivyguy, did you have a life at all?</p>
<p>why would you ask if I have a life, but since you did, yes I do have a life, do you?</p>
<p>I was just wondering since you took classes at a college. </p>
<p>A kid on my polo team had to do that for foreign language (he wanted to take band and history) and he was loaded.</p>
<p>Now, you say you took/will take (whatever that means) 6 classes. Dividing by four years, that means you took 1-2 COLLEGE classes per year in addition to 6 HS classes, which I'm sure were AP/Honors. </p>
<p>...I rest my case. From an outsider's point of view, YOU HAVE NO LIFE.</p>
<p>sophomore year- I took 4 college classes, only two of them were in addition to my course load.
Junior year-I am taking one college class right now.
this summer I am taking 3 college classes
so you are partially correct, right now I have a life, this summer I won't, but a lot of kids applying to the ivies study a lot and have coureses in addition to their course load also, so I am not alone.</p>
<p>You take them over the summer?</p>
<p>Does that count for semester or year credit?</p>
<p>This summer is the 1st summer that I am taking classes during the summer, I think that each course counts for 4 college credit hours which is worth a full year high school course.</p>
<p>six APs in one year... kenli, that's crazy. i don't know how you manage.</p>
<p>this was my AP load:
freshman year - 0
sophomore year - 0
junior year - 2
senior year - 5.</p>
<p>one college-level class each year from sophomore to senior year (science researech those first two, then psych... not hard ones at all.)</p>
<p>allureNY - Where did you take your classes?</p>
<p>projected APs:
sophomore: 2
junior: 4 (2 partial self-study)
senior: 3</p>
<p>it was actually done through the high school. when i enrolled in science research, it was through the NY education board (whatever they call it) so i would effectively get credits through SUNY Albany. and psychology was just a standard, regular high school course but i get credits from Mercy College there. even though i never set foot in either of those places, but that's okay. ;)</p>
<p>but i didn't mention that on the common app where they asked for any college courses taken, since my GC advised me not to. she said it would make colleges less likely to accept me because then i wouldn't pay as much for their credits?? or something like that. whatever, too late now.</p>
<p>I'm kind of curious if taking 6 AP classes at a time leaves room for much else--and if it's even really healthy.</p>
