<p>Well, my highschool is definately not the most funded in the state of Massachusetts. We do not offer AP classes until you are a junior and that is only one (AP bio or AP chem) and then we hav 5- offered to seniors</p>
<p>When comparing my classes to other schools will colleges see that my school does not offer a lot of the AP's a lot of other CC'ers are taking?
I take the hardest classes possible and I am plannign on skipping pre-calc honors to go right into AP calc...</p>
<p>So my question is.....Will colleges see the courses offered at your highschool?
or should I add a note to my app from a guidance counselor specifying it was the most rigorous courseload?</p>
<p>Along with your mid-term report, your guidance counselor will send a School Profile to all your colleges. This Profile will, among other things, list the AP classes available to you, so yes, the college will take this into account. You are not penalized for the lack of offerings.</p>
<p>Agreed with Chedva, your guidance counselor will take care of it with the School Profile. The fact that you are taking extra AP classes at a local community college makes you look good, too, so don't sweat it.</p>
<p>Just gonna quote what I said from another thread regarding something similar content, because I'm lazy.</p>
<p>
<p>I know it might be limited because I can't speak for all schools but mine (and a couple others I know / friends from other schools know) but I want to emphasize: It's not about the # of Ap's.</p>
<p>My cousin got into UC Berkeley (I consider this school really good, i dont know about you) with 2 Ap's the entire high school year.
</p>
<p>Yeah. Chill. Plus, there's a section in the application section for the counselor where she/he checks the rigorousness (is this a word?) of the curriculum.</p>
<p>^agreed. take the most rigorous classes available and you will be fine. if you want, you could also try taking a couple of classes at a local community college.</p>
