<p>I am a junior now.
My GPA is 4.0
I got 2230 on my SAT1
And 780,780,780 for SAT2, math,phy & che.
One thing I'm really worried about is that my school doesn't offer any AP courses. I take the hardest courses in school though.
Now I plan to transfer to a big school and take APs in my senior year.
Does it really matter that much if I didn't take any APs in my junior year to those IVY schools? Or colleges can understand I didn't take it because school didn't have it?
Thank you.</p>
<p>Not all schools offer the same opportunities, so yes, adcoms will understand. However, since you'll be at a new school, your new GC probably won't be familiar with the course offerings at your new school, so you might want to ask him/her to attach a note explaining your lack of APs junior year.</p>
<p>and if you are at your new school, can you keep up you ec's, get the recommendations you need</p>
<p>if your school doesn't offer the classes, the admin people won't hold it against you</p>
<p>You want to also make sure that you can take the APs at the new school, many schools have prereqs</p>
<p>If you are just transferring to take some AP classes, think about all you are losing- friends, ECs, connections, prom, lots of things that make SR year fun, for some classes that may not matter in the long run</p>
<p>Don't transfer. Take some classes at community college or local universities instead.</p>
<p>Colleges will understand that you have taken the toughest courseload available.</p>
<p>Well, I need to transfer because my family is moving to another state.
So I have to leave my current school anyway.
I was born in USA, then I spent 6 years in France, 8 years in China. I just moved back in my junior year. Does it also affect my profile? Because they can only compare my junior year grades with others.</p>
<p>make sure that you have your transcript along with your school profile sent to the new school, and that you get a copy of each yourself.</p>
<p>When the new school sends in your grades from senior year, they will also send in your transcript from the other school</p>
<p>If you are worried, thenwhen you are doing applications, contact old school and have them send transcripts to colleges as well, along with school profile</p>
<p>they will put the pieces together</p>
<p>and btw, you did make it sound like you were wanting to transfer, thus our responses</p>
<p>clarity is important</p>
<p>You'll really have to prove yourself in your midyear reports.</p>
<p>okay, the college will look at all your transcripts, they do it all the time</p>
<p>so relax you are many who move around in HS...</p>
