<p>(even more trimmed down version of earlier post)</p>
<p>Do top universities put a large emphasis on specifically when the bulk of AP classes are taken or are they primarily concerned with just the total taken overall?</p>
<p>For example, the average total number of APs at my school is around 6. I will have taken 9 by the end of high school, but while most of the higher end students take the bullk of these courses as juniors, I, due to incompetance from counseling, will be taken most of mine as a senior. (reasoning behind concern is that many say heavier junior load is far better for UCs)</p>
