<p>If a student wasn't able to take any/chose not to take any AP classes in their junior year but took at least three or four in their senior year, would it make a difference to college admissions? Since they don't see the entire senior year's grades when the student applies, do they disregard it? Compared to a student that take two their junior year and three their senior year, how does the student who takes five or six in their senior year hold up? Disadvantage in college apps?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>worse but not by a ton</p>
<p>Worse unless said junior could not take APs for some reason (graduation requirements, not allowed to take APs, etc.)</p>
<p>Thanks, guys.</p>
<p>So if the student wasn’t able to take them because let’s she/he moved into the state, and new students can’t choose classes, how would the student indicate this in their college apps? The college process makes my head spin.</p>
<p>It will be pretty hard to handle six APs with the process of applying to colleges…</p>
<p>The GC rec should explain why you were unable to take AP’s junior year.</p>
<p>Going from 0 APs to 6 APs in one year is the equivalent of going 0-60 in .0001 seconds. Better to take 3 with good marks than take 6, get overwhelmed, and fail them.</p>
<p>…I wouldn’t recommend that. 3-4 is already a truckload of work/stress. Especially if you haven’t taken any AP’s before…you won’t know what kind of work load you will have to take on. Don’t do it. You want your GPA to be high for senior year! Colleges won’t be impressed if your GPA drops because of those 6 AP’s! </p>
