<p>Hi,</p>
<p>Currently I am a high school Junior interested in top American schools (MIT, John Hopkins, Columbia to name a few). I am enrolled in AP U.S. History and AP English Language. My Senior schedule features AP Government/Microeconomics, AP Stats, AP Psychology, and AP Biology. I initially intended to take AP Literature and Latin over the summer. However, new opportunities have arisen. I have been accepted by Harvard Summer School. Should I take Introductory Psychology and Biology there rather than taking AP Psychology and AP Biology next year? Which is more impressive when admissions considers the students' application? </p>
<p>~Thanks for your guidance</p>
<p>I might be completely wrong, but from what I have seen, both will have negligible effect on your application. If you want to be impressive “stand out,” do something that stands out.</p>
<p>I don’t think either would have a huge effect, but personally I’d take the AP classes.</p>
<p>It depends on whether or not the college of your choice accepts the college credits, as for the AP credits most colleges/universities accept these credits but it can still be negligible.
I’d say from personal experience go for the A.P. classes, I’ve only taken one college class in 9th grade but I’m taking 5 AP’S this year (sophomore year) whose AP credit I know my dream school would accept.
Hope that helped =]</p>
