How would taking BC Calc and AP Physics C in junior year stands out?

@Anniel1004‌ -Nope. You think it’s tough getting into a college in the US? Try getting into that same college when you’re applying from China, with a limited number of spots at each college for internationals (only a fraction of which are open to applicants who go to school in China) and 20-30 million other students who could apply for those same places.

See my exaggeration above when I said that Malala wouldn’t be that much above average for an international applicant. For all the stress and worry you’ll see in high school seniors, US applicants have it easy.
