<p>I am in sophomore year;
I have 1 ap class and 7 honors by the end of this year.
How many more would be a safe bet to take?
I am just really nervous and want to get into uf... SO BAD.
I am very active in my school (lots of clubs and stuff)
Right now i am 22/366 in my class (Top 6% i think)
my gpa weighted is 4.4 unweighted a 3.8.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks!</p>
<p>As many as you can handle. Not only will it look good on your resume, but it will definitely help you prepare for work in college. </p>
<p>Good luck</p>
<p>Also depends on how many the school offers. the less APs the school offers, the less you are expected to take (an overabundance of APs is diff, because colleges know that you can’t take too many APs at any one time).</p>
<p>Do as many as you feel you can do, but make sure you can perform in those classes well.</p>
<p>DUAL ENROLLMENT IS BETTER! I only took 3 AP classes, but I took 8 DE classes and I was admitted ((:</p>
<p>i knowww, i was planning on DE but i can’t because i am student body president</p>
<p>that doesn’t matter. I was senior class president and junior class vice president. I’m also in the SGA class, and have been for 3 years. Do 2 classes a semester at the community college, and take 5-6 classes at your high school.</p>
<p>Dual Enrollment is viewed upon the same way as AP/IB in terms of difficulty…</p>
<p>Honestly, i would take as many APs as offered…</p>
<p>Self-study.</p>
<p>First off, just because a person, ufucfbound, was dual enrolling and was admitted doesn’t give Dual enrollment more weight/credibility than AP. That’s like me saying “you should take AP because i was admitted”. Personally I think AP classes are better than duel enrolling because AP credits transfer a lot smoother than Community College credits, unless you receive your AA. If you receive your AA, you have to make sure you get your credits towards the major you applied for or you won’t even get accepted. </p>
<p>If I were you, I would take the amount of AP classes I could handle. I’ve seen students overload on AP courses and end up dropping out the classes or receiving mediocre grades/low AP scores. AP classes will make you look good on paper only if you are excelling in them. I only took a couple AP classes a year. however, they were subjects i actaully wanted to learn.</p>
<p>Also, you shouldn’t be worrying too much about college. You are a sophomore, relax a little.</p>
<p>Actually, AlvinUF, someone told me they had SO much trouble transferring AP credits to a college and they wish they would’ve taken DE. And I’m not saying to take them because I got in, I’m giving him advice on HOW to take them since he said he couldn’t due to EC’s.</p>
<p>From what I have heard, from friends and teachers, CC credits have been harder to transfer than AP credits. My teacher, who graduated from UF said around half of his credits from Dual Enrollment transferred to UF. </p>
<p>(This comes off negative but i truly don’t mean it to be) By the way, this is the UF thread so if you are talking about your friend’s “college” I hope you are referring to UF. I doubt he/she had trouble transferring AP credits unless he/she didn’t bother checking the requirements for transferring his/her AP credits, which are posted on the UF site. It even says, people who pass the AP test will receive BLANK amount of college credits, depending on their AP scores, towards their degree at UF. I don’t know the URL but I’m pretty sure that it will be easy to find on their site.</p>
<p>You pass AP classes (i consider 4-5 passing; anyone who can comprehend what he/she is being given should receive at least a 4) you should have no problem receiving some credits in college.</p>
