<p>My course load difficulty between freshman - junior year is considered kinda average at my school - 8 honors, 1 AP, and 2 accelerated. However, I'll be taking 6 APs next year. Would my previously weak course load hurt me or will Cornell (my #1 choice right now) be more lenient towards it since I'm challenging myself more during senior year? I will definitely try to maintain a high GPA in senior year and avoid senioritis.</p>
<p>I don’t think it will make up for it but colleges will DEFINITELY be happy to see it if you can do well.</p>
<p>Are you seriously going to attempt 6 AP’s your senior year? With only 1 AP under your belt, I don’t think you realize just how difficult it will be for you to SUCCESSFULLY manage 6 AP’s at one time. </p>
<p>I recommend that you take a maximum of 3 AP’s your senior year. You’ll be stressed with filling out college applications, writing college essays, getting teacher recommendations, participating in your EC’s and community service, and visiting colleges. </p>
<p>In regards to college admissions: Admission’s will base their acceptance/rejection decision on your transcript through 11th grade. They look at your mid-year and final senior transcript only to see that you have maintained your GPA and rigor.</p>
<p>Well I go to a pretty good public school and it is pretty normal for someone to have 4+ AP’s in senior year. I’m also pretty good with time management so I think I’ll be ok. Thanks for the input!</p>
<p>I don’t agree with your logic, but it’s your decision. Good luck with your plan. Be prepared for a stressful and miserable senior year.</p>
