<p>you’re good</p>

<p>Did you only take 2 AP’s through your 4 years in highschool? And how many AP’s does your school offer</p>

4

<p>well my school doesn’t offer APs until junior year and students aren’t expected to take every AP class offered. I’m taking another two APs this year.</p>

5

<p>My school only has 2 APs. Man, I hope that doesn’t kill my chances…</p>

6

<p>yeah my school doesn’t offer all that many either… but there’s nothing we can do about that…</p>

<p>To those above:</p>

<p>It doesn’t matter. I will have graduated high school with only 3 AP’s because we’re only allowed to take them senior year and are limited to 3. But I also attend the most prestigious private school in my city. (32% NMSF, etc. etc.) The rigor of our “normal” classes is probably higher than “AP” classes at nearby publics</p>

<p>self-study ap courses and take the exams</p>

<p>There’s no need to self-study and take APs. As long as your counselor makes clear that your school only offers two/three and you’ve taken the most rigorous course-load you could have, admissions officers will be satisfied.</p>
