<p>swim2daend im willing to bet 85% of the people who take AP classes, aren't doing it because they are "interested" in the subject.</p>
<p>I've been interested in most of the AP subjects I've taken. I guess I'm part of that 15%. I loved AP Art History when I took it in 10th grade, but I guess it was just the way our teacher taught it. My AP English teacher was exceedingly sarcastic; I couldn't help but appreciate it 75% of the time. APUS was a bore. All we ever did was take noted from the board. On FCAT retakes we took notes for 3 hours straight without discussing the material. Just notes.I lost some very good pens to that class. Glad I didn't stick around for the remainder. I love my pens :D</p>
<p>Courtney8, I would be willing to bet you. Maybe 85% on CC, but I still think most ppl on CC are interested in the subjects. I took Art History because I'm inspired by art. I may not remember everything from every art period and probably will get a 3 on the exam, but I've learned more from that class than any other class. Most people who are "normal" and don't have an IQ of 145 take AP classes because they love the subject. If there's anyway that your statistic of 85% is right, it would be because the school forces the AP class onto the student.</p>
<p>Every AP I've taken or am going to take is something that I enjoy - I am passionate about it/them.
I have the grades to get into APUSH, but I'm not taking it. Why? Because I don't enjoy history. I'd much rather take Research at my school (non honors, non AP class), enter that into ISEF, and maybe win some award.
What looks better on your transcript?
1) Being #1 in the class and not having a prominent passion or interest.
OR
2) Being #2 in the class, having one or two strong passions, have more ECs, and doing something amazing (i.e. ISEF).</p>
<p>I think #2. I know that once you are above a certain GPA/rank, colleges really only care about things that will separate you from the pack. You have to "dazzle" (ahhh 21 was such a good movie ;) ) the admissions officer.</p>
<p>What online website will you be taking the ap's from?</p>
