<p>Here's the issue. I come from a public school that's very well known for academics and sends a lot of kids to college (Top 100 USNEWS Public High Schools). However, they do not offer very many AP classes at all and I was wondering that if I would be at a disadvantage by only being able to take one AP course (psychology) before my senior year, as the AP courses they do offer are only allowed for seniors, and I would only be able to get one AP score on my transcript since AP tests are well after you send in your apps. I take all of my courses as honors and will take all the AP's available to me as a senior (Spanish, Literature, Calc, Bio) I just wasn't sure if I'd be at a disadvantage by not being able to take these courses as a junior, as I always see a bunch of CC kids posting like 10 AP's that they took as juniors.</p>
<p>I dont think it will make that much of a difference unless you are applying to ivies</p>
<p>I know my high school sent a school report to all schools I applied to listing information about the school, including which APs were offered - if you’re really concerned, find out if your school does this. If you aren’t taking that many APs because they weren’t offered, no college will hold that against you. If you’re taking all the APs you can, you’ll be fine there.</p>
<p>In response to Wilson1013, if you’ve truly taken as many/most of the AP courses open to you, the Ivies will understand you don’t have 30 APs under your belt. They ALL say that they want you to challenge yourself and take advantage of the hardest curriculum AT your school. They don’t expect you to take more APs than your school offers!</p>
<p>Also, colleges will still see your senior year classes (although not scores) and taking as many APs as you are for senior year shows dedication and willingness to challenge yourself.</p>
<p>The short answer is, don’t worry about it!</p>
