Hi. I’m currently a Junior in high school and I’m not sure if my course load is rigorous enough.
I have taken 3 honors classes in both my freshman and sophomore year, but no APs. Currently in my Junior year, I’m only taking AP US History and AP Environmental Science. The colleges that I want to look at and probably apply to are Emory, Northwestern, Lehigh, the University of Michigan, and Binghamton.
Are two APs enough for colleges like those? If I keep up a 94.56 unweighted gpa right now (97.3 weighted), will two AP’s be good enough for a college like Northwestern?
This is keeping in mind that if I continue with straight A’s in my junior year, my weighted gpa will probably go up to around a 99
It really depends on your school. If you’re taking the max amount of APs/Honors classes that your school offers (or plan to take a decent amount) it will reflect well. If you could be taking more rigorous classes but choose not to, that might not look so well.
The only other real AP’s that I could take are AP English and Pre-AP Spanish. Besides APUSH and AP environmental that I’m taking now, I am taking 3 other honors (math, English, and Spanish). Does that make any sort of difference?
