<p>one AP in junior year while average people take more in my competitive school. is admission to top tier (under Ivy) possible without considering ECs,sats?
plan to do 3~4 AP next year.</p>
<p>It's possible but very unlikely ESPECIALLY if your school offers more than 5 AP's. When your counselor sends out the school report and if they find out that you haven't challenged yourself academically, it puts you at a VERY big disadvantage.</p>
<p>you're doomed...but look on the bright side...there's always community college :) ...I'm just kidding lol...</p>
<p>yea you still have a chance at top schools ranked like 25 on down</p>
<p>you people kill me. i wouldn't go to one of those damn ivy league colleges if i was dying for god's sake</p>
<p>hahaha....crap....my school doesn't even offer AP....oh well.....i guess</p>
<p>You won't be punished for your school not offering APs.</p>
<p>Self-study a bunch and get 5s, then be like "Yeah....I'm awesome"</p>
<p>im already awesome without APs ..lol
actually i'm in a school that offers 20+ APs</p>
<p>ouch...that's gonna hurt ya.</p>
<p>i don't think its that big of a deal. after all, ap is just the name of a test given by a company called cb.</p>
<p>some of these responses give us a bad name</p>
<p>Wait, if the school has 20+ APs, why did you not take more than one? If the answer is laziness, you've got a problem.</p>
<p>It's also not a matter of choice at some schools. Like mine.</p>
<p>I tried for 4 APs for my senior year, but we need to take qualifying exams, and they are extremely competitive. And I mean - extremely. Our school's competition is cut-throat, I was even amazed I got into AP Art History, and that was because my teacher even said my analytical skils on Art were superb, it showed on the exam. </p>
<p>Schools know that our AP courses are exam-based, and insanely competitve, so they will know that our school curriculum is rigorous enough even <em>without</em> the AP courses.</p>
