<p>college board does not offer an AP Philosophy test.</p>
<p>you can start clubs at your school
you can take independent study classes
you can study for AP tests, as well as SAT/ACT from prep books
you can look up info for summer programs on the internet</p>
<p>I did Bio 12 alongside AP Bio and it was fine</p>
<p>do schools pay for VHS?? does it take a long time for them to do the process?? um...anybody knows is there another way to take AP classes on-line?</p>
<p>hey thanks for the replies</p>
<p>i meant ap psychology (i always get those mixed up)
I am going to start a club at my school (hopefully i can get the school to pay for teh initial fees) and try to get them involved with vhs (and pay my classes for me :))</p>
<p>its pretty funny because I have so much initiative (my summer is full; 5 activities) and my family isnt rich at all. They just want me to have a good education; how can I show colleges that I am not that well-off?</p>
<p>go to alaska. some kid on cc is member of every club there.</p>
<p>you need to get involved in your community then. Colleges don't need you to do a bunch of stuff <em>at school</em>, you just need to do things. </p>
<p>Starting a club would look good on your resume.</p>
<p>Also, just get good grades and a high class rank and colleges will see that your school didn't offer APs.</p>

<p>hey i'm in the same situation too..
i go this crappy private christian school...cuz its the only int;l school in the city i live in..btw i live in indonesia....my school has no AP's no clubs...total of 70 students...most of who are in sports...if i tried starting a club hardly anyone wud join...</p>
<p>cant u tell the uni;s that ur applyin to that u were in a disadvantage</p>
<p>taj, I think I'm gonna ask my guidance counselor to put how my school does not offer any clubs until I arrived on her recommendation:rolleyes:</p>
<p>does starting a club in school look better or contributing to a community centre</p>
<p>u should prolly do both and aksing your counsellor to put it on your recommendation is a great idea...start a club that many students will attend...take a poll or someting...and btw dont forget to mention it on ur application essay or something that ur school was disadvantagous and despite that u managed to make full use of it and started clubs and stuff</p>
<p>good luck</p>
<p>peace</p>
<p>how much does VHS cost btw?</p>
<p>i think that you can still take advantage of your school.. i've known someone in another school (rom Canada) who wanted more AP courses in his high school. He talked to the school director and they added in more courses the year or two after that.. as well, if your school does not offer many extracurriculars or clubs, i think that it's a perfect way for you to take initiative and show some leadership by creating and leading clubs that you're interested in.. because many universities love students who do that. i think you should look around and seek more opportunities in your school.. and even for contests, you should be able to ask teachers in the academic departments because most of them know about them, usually. also, even if your school does not allow you to take initiative, you should go OUTSIDE of your school then, and take advantage... you can get yourself a job or volunteer at a hospital.. there are hundreds of opportunities out there...</p>
<p>Being homeschooled, I have little sympathy.</p>
<p>Swimming, riflery, orchestra, softball, volunteering at a pantry & library... none of them had had anything to do with a school, yet I still did them. I also live in a small town, so you probably have the same resources available if you'd only look. </p>
<p>As far as academics go, I have only self-studied one AP class so far (next year I'm doing more). But it is possible to do it.</p>
