<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 definitely possible. it's hard to tell where you can get in without seeing your other stats, but don't worry about it. a lot of kids who get into great schools don't take any APs junior year. take the hardest classes you can next year, do well, keep up your ECs, and worry about everything else next year!</p>
<p>it also depends heavily on what your school has to offer. Colleges aren't going to expect you to take 5 independent study ap's because your school only has two ap classes. Just take the most challenging course load possible.</p>
