<p>AP scheduling question here:
At my school, AP tests are not offered/allowed until 10th grade. In 10th grade, only one course is offered, AP Euro. In my 10th grade year, I did not take Euro, but instead Honors Modern World History, along with the rest of my courses (all honors). This year (11th grade), I am taking four APs and an honors course, which is the most available, and next year, I will be taking five or six APs. </p>
<p>My question is:
Will colleges think I chose the "easy way out" in my sophomore year because I did not take the only AP class offered?</p>
<p>Sorry for the somewhat long post, I've just been wondering about this for a while now so an answer would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>I am in a similar situation.</p>
<p>I had the option of taking AP Human Geo freshman year & passed on it, a decision I now regret. I’m now in my sophomore year and have the option of taking 2 APs, but only took one. I keep wondering if colleges will dislike the fact that I didn’t take AP Human Geo… but hey. You win some, you lose some I guess. I don’t know how colleges will view this but I plan to compensate by taking whatever classes I can handle junior (and senior) year.</p>
<p>If it is one course, probably not. But if it is one of many courses where you avoided the most rigorous option, then probably. It also matters what your high school counselor thinks when filling in the part about rigor of course selection on the counselor’s recommendation for colleges that use that.</p>
