<p>I don’t think that not taking any AP courses will hurt your chances…though I can’t say for sure since I did take them in high school…</p>

<p>But your ECs look great and your SATs are better than what mine were when I applied</p>

<p>If your essays and recommendations are great then I think you have a great chance of getting in (I’m currently a junior in HumEc)</p>

<p>If your school does not offer AP / IB classes it will not be held against you. As long as your GC marked “most rigorus courses” box on the common app. you’ll be OK</p>

<p>Thank you wishfulday!! I really hope APs do not matter!</p>

<p>Yes, csdad, my counselor told me that she checked the “most demanding” box on the common app!</p>
