Buy $300 worth of books now or $300 worth of books later?

<p>The person I know that got admitted to M&T only took 6 last year and 8 in total by the time he applied: Bio, Calc BC, Chem, Physics B, Physics C: Mechanics, US History, Lang, and Stats. You don’t need all the APs you’re listing. You can take a look at all of them, but only take the AP exam for the ones you really care about, and use the rest of the time for developing your ECs (which are far more critical than taking a few light AP exams) and relationships with teachers.</p>

<p>I don’t know about him having a minimal role. He’s president of 7 clubs. But I 100% agree with you. It’s about quality, not quantity.</p>

<p>^Agreed, but I’m assuming that if he’s the president of 7 clubs, none of those 7 positions require considerable effort.</p>

<p>well i mean heres how it pretty much goes
7 clubs
5 of them kinda like normal high school clubs, i put in 2-3 hours a month
2 of them i put in about 2 hours a week</p>

<p>4 leadership positions
about 4-5 hours a weeek for each of them.</p>

<p>so lets not say im not committed to what i do.
im saying, im trying to find a passion and im not sure how to find it.</p>

<p>live life to the fullest, why take that many AP when you know you would probably receive a score of below 3? waste of time. just take 1 ap!</p>

<p>god, i love you for that response.</p>

<p>Lol idk, do what you want to do. If your passion is to take tons of APs and be presidents of that many clubs, then do it.</p>

<p>hahaha idk man, i mean how did you find your passion?</p>

<p>Technically, I didn’t, but I do have quite a liking towards computer science and physics, bio and chem</p>

<p>… 14 AP’s is crazy for one year…
i understand people on CC taking like 7 or 8, that’s manageable but 14?!?!</p>

<p>…and forgot the $300 worth of books, how about the $1218 worth of AP test fees? lol</p>
