<p>title says it all, how many ap/honors classes should a UC-bound student have?</p>
<p>If your school offers 5 or less THEN take all the AP courses .</p>
<p>if your school offers 5 to ten THEN take seven or more AP courses.</p>
<p>if your school offers more than 10 THEN take 2/3 of them or more AP courses.</p>
<p>I agree with the guy above me, except for the last part. My school offers roughly 30 AP / Honors / College Level (e.g. Latin V) classes, and the most anyone has ever taken in four years was 15. He got a full ride to Princeton. Take enough to show you seriously challenge yourself and are a hard-working and talented student, but dont drown yourself by taking AP Physics, AP Bio, and AP Chemistry in one year (I know someone who did that, he got D’s in all three).</p>
<p>it really depends on what you’re school offers- i’d recommend taking as many as you can fit in to your schedule without overloading yourself, since even at a fairly standardized AP level, the levels at all schools are different. colleges will probably know the strength of your high school so just take as many as you think you can handle, or however many are offered if you think you can handle it</p>
<p>It really depends on what your school offers and what you are capable of taking. Like my friends from class of 2008, 2009, and 2010 that got into pretty good UCs (Berkeley, LA, SD) said, it’s better to take 3 APs and get A’s in them rather than taking 5 APs and getting B’s in all of them. You know? Something along the lines of such.</p>

<p>Full ride to Princeton = Accepted by Princeton</p>
<p>They don’t give merit money, it’s misleading to say he got a “full ride to Princeton.” The only money they give is financial aid.</p>

It still illustrates my point.</p>
