<p>A note about AP's - My school is very stupid about taking AP classes. Basically, their policy is that you can't take AP Biology unless you've done regular Biology. Most AP classes won't count as credits in your core classes but rather count for credits in electives. I don't know if that's how it is at other schools, but it makes it difficult to schedule a bajillion AP's, let alone a ton before senior year. So, in other words, I'm taking about as many AP's as someone at my school can take, except AP Calc.</p>
