<p>in my int'l school during frosh. year, there were no honors classes whatsover.</p>
<p>now in soph year, i moved here and there's no way i ever knew about "Honors" Classes. plus, since there was no way i knew abou these classes, i never asked my teachers of frosh. year to write any recommendations. </p>
<hr>
<p>would no-APs-and-honors classes situation during frosh or soph year affect my image for colleges? (im soph. finishing my semester)</p>
<p>It depends on what colleges you want to go to.</p>
<p>I don't think so...</p>
<p>I never took AP classes until junior year, and certainly not to the extent that other users on this forums did.
Plus, if your school didn't have any honors classes, than I don't think a college looking at your application could possibly hold you responsible for not taking classes that never existed.
My two cents</p>
<p>thanks mdurkes. it makes sense. plus they must know about the transition from frosh in intl sschool to soph(now) year. </p>

Stanford

ucla

<p>though, it may change as time passes.</p>
<p>Yea, I wouldnt worry about it.</p>
<p>You have a lot of UCs on your list so I am assuming your from CA? If you are don't worry about it. The UC already keep track of the classes offered at CA high schools (it makes filling the application out a lot easier). And if your school doesn't offer honors and APs for underclassmen, it can't hurt you.</p>
<p>My high school in Southern CA didn'n offer honors at all, (accept for one english class) and with the exception of AP Comp. Pol. APs were only for juniors and seniors.</p>
<p>Our California H.S. doesnt offer AP or Honors classes until your Junior year.... we have kids going to MIT, West Point, Yale, Berkeley, UCLA, UCSD, Princeton etc... you'll be fine!</p>
<p>yeah, im CA resident.</p>
<p>well im preety sure ill be excused for frosh year. didnt offer anything advanced.</p>
<p>soph year - not sure if there's an excuse. transferred from intl school to CA so im not sure. </p>
<p>junior year - preety sure to take APs and honors.</p>
<p>Im sure ill not take AP computer science as well as ap music theory</p>
<p>im quite unsure about chem and phys. since im not the math+science guy.</p>
