I am in need of some SERIOUS help.

Applying to College
1

<p>Alright, well, my school offers about 4 AP classes - 2 of which I will take my junior year; the other two, probably in my senior year, along with a college literature class. The thing is, I heard that AP classes look very good on a resume. Soo, should I transfer to a school with more AP classes to increase my chances of getting into a selective private college?</p>

<p>Right now, I'm a sophomore, and the only honors classes they offer are: Math B Honors, and American History Honors - I'm only in the latter. However, I am taking Chemistry a YEAR ahead of most of my classmates, and I was wondering if this would be looked upon favorably by colleges.</p>

<p>Please answer both.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Oh, and about EC's, my current school is known for it's extensive program. Currently, I am in:</p>

<p>Music
HOE (Health Occupations Education)
Debate</p>

<p>Should I stay at my old school, try to pull off a good SAT score, and use those EC's to my advantage?</p>

<p>Colleges want to see that you take advantage of what your school offers you. If your school only offers 4 APs, and you take all of them and challenge yourself/take advantage of the opportunities that your school does offer, you'll be fine. (Basically, they're not going to hold the lack of APs against you)</p>

<p>Ah, alright.</p>

<p>I also have a job at the NY hall of science... would that be good on my resume as well?</p>
