<p>Hi, my daughter is very interested in Stonehill, went to visit and fell in love with it. It is definitely in her top 3 choices if not the top. I am a little worried though because she has not taken any AP classes at all, but she has taken mostly honors. Her high school is extremely competitive, ranked third in our state. She has a 3.7 weighted GPA, 1820 SAT,
has played violin in the orchestra for several years, is a competitive dancer, volunteers as a student dance instructor, NHS member, other various volunteering and a couple of clubs at school. I feel like some of the schools that she is applying to will hold this against her even though she has many other things going for her. We as a family along with her GC thought it was best for her to stick with the honors as opposed to taking 1 or 2 APs for a few different reasons, one being that her dancing takes up many hours a week of her time.</p>

<p>What do you think her chances would be on getting in to Stonehill with no APs? Does anyone know of anyone who was admitted with no APs? Other schools she is applying to are Providence, Northeastern, BU, Marist plus one or two safety schools. Should she be applying to more less competitive schools based on this information?</p>

<p>Your child will definitely get into Stonehill and love it. My daughter is in her Sophomore year. She had no AP classes, but she did have a good average honor courses and activities. I don’t believe her SAT score was as high as your daughter’s either. It is a great school…students are really friendly and bond easily, even among different class years. Best of Luck!!!</p>

<p>Thanks for the info! It’s good to know that someone did get in with no APs. Like I stated in my original post, her high school is very well regarded by colleges in the northeast so we are hoping that will hold some weight.</p>
