<p>My school barely offers any classes (let alone AP). Here are all of what I will take:</p>
<p>AP English 11 Language (Taking)
AP English 12 Literature (Taking)
AP Calc AB (Taking)
AP Calc BC (Taking)
AP Envir. Science (Taking)
AP Biology (Taking)
AP Chemitry (Taking)
AP U.S. History (Taking)
AP U.S. Government. (Taking)</p>
<p>Does this look good for Ivy Leagues? I want to major in BME. Thanks :)
p.s I took the most hardest class during my freshman and sophomore (Enriched or PreAP).</p>
<p>They do care how many AP’s you take, but if your school doesn’t offer that many it’s fine. For most schools, they are concerned whether or no you are taking the hardest schedule that you possibly can.</p>
<p>Also does it good on your transcript when all of your AP classes are taken the last two years of high school?</p>
<p>AND Do ivy leagues look at the classes you take? As in your electives. Because I plan to fill my schedule with 2 AP Science classes each year (Instead of one science class)</p>
<p>Your counselor will send in your school’s profile: it will tell the colleges what classes were available, how many kids took them, what the number of 5, 4, 3 scores were, etc. You might be able to find it online on your school’s website, under guidance; if not, you can ask your gc for a copy. </p>
<p>Basically, you are judged in the context of your school’s programs. Many schools won’t let you take APs in sophomore year (personally, I think that if you can take an AP class sophomore year, it’s not a college level course anyway, but that’s just me). It won’t be a problem to have increasing levels of difficulty in your courseload, assuming you continue to do well. </p>
<p>The sense I get is that one needs a plan, a narrative: I knew I wanted to do X, so I took these courses to get there. I love art, so I took all the art courses I could fit in around my rigorous class schedule. I love English, so I took all the English courses I could, even though that meant I couldn’t take AP Physics my senior year–I just really wanted to take both AP world lit and an elective of Creative Writing. As long as there’s a coherent reason for your decisions, and you make that clear, you should make your choices based on challenging yourself and doing what you really love.</p>
I thought there was a minimum number of AP classes to make it in… xD</p>
