<p>Hey All!</p>
<p>I had started to write the final drafts of my college admissions essays, when a saddening thought came to mind. My high school doesn't allow students to take many APs, and some students have 16 APs, while I have only 4 (upon graduation) What am I going to !? How do I explain this on the common application? Should it be in one of my essays? I have a lot of ECs and solid leadership positions, will that make up for my predicament. I NEED ADVICE!!</p>
<p>Ask your counselor to address it in the rec letter. Don’t waste your essay space on it.</p>
<p>Thank you thank you thank youuuuu !!!</p>
<p>This should be addressed in the high school’s profile. Ask your counselor if you can see a copy. The profile should describe the grading scale, list what AP and honors courses are offered, describe any limitations on when students can enroll in APs or honors, and much more.</p>
<p>If you’ve taken the hardest courses your school offers, you’ll be fine.</p>
<p>And have pity for the applicants whose schools offer 30 AP classes. If the school lets them, they feel pressured to take 6 or 7 a year!</p>
<p>That is true. Thanks you guys for the help !!!</p>
