<p>Keep in mind, our school does not offer many APs, almost all will be found on my transcript. Also most APs are only available to seniors, which is why my senior year is so heavy. Will it also appeal to colleges that I took initiative and am (literally) the only one in my school to enroll in online APs? Thanks!</p>

<p>Also, I plan to major in biology (hence the extra load of science courses.)</p>

<p>If those are the hardest classes offered at your school yes.</p>

<p>This course load is definitely on par with many Ivy candidates. Take into account that AP classes are not the only thing that matters to these schools, though. Prepare in every aspect of your resume. Test scores, extra-curriculars, GPA, diversity (!!), everything is important.</p>

<p>Yeah, this was the most rigorous load I could take. The only other APs I haven’t signed up for are the language ones (Illness and a move prevented me from starting a language freshman year) and Physics. I figured Ap Bio and Chem would apply more to my intended major…</p>

<p>And thank you! I know many factors play into acceptance (I’m working hard on those as well!!).I just wanted to make sure I was on the right track. :)</p>

<p>Yes, definitely taking APs in your career path is a step in the right direction! It sounds like a fantastic outlook to me. Bravo for being so prepared.</p>
