<p>I see everyone here counting on 10+ AP exams on getting them into college
i'm only going to be taking 4 throughout high school will that hurt me?</p>
<p>Soph: APUSH <-- hoping for a 4 :D
Junior: AP Eng Lang
Senior: AP Physics B/AP Calculus AB</p>
<p>It depends on what schools you’re applying to. You won’t get rejected at most schools just because you didn’t destroy yourself with that many APs, they care more about quality than quantity. So just do the maximum number of AP classes you can handle without overloading yourself. </p>
<p>It also depends on how many AP exams your school offers, if they offer AP at all. Taking 4 APs when your school offers 5 is more impressive than taking 4 when your school offers 20.</p>
<p>On a side note, From previous experience, I can tell you that AP English Language is typically a fairly easy, skills based class, just a lot of homework . You can pull off physics B with it. That can help you fit in a few more APs if you’re still concerned about it. Just don’t forget to focus on other aspects, like ECs, test scores, GPA, and still enjoying a life.</p>
<p>I don’t think so. Of course, the rigor of your high school course load is taken into consideration, but if you’ve taken honors classes, etc… you should be fine. AP stuff is just to add more rigor to your transcript and to get you college credit. I think you’ll be fine :)</p>
<p>It depends on the context of your school. If your school only offers those 4, then there’s nothing you can do about that (except self-study, but that merits a whole different discussion). Colleges will evaluate your courseload within the context of your own school.</p>
<p>You do realize there are two AP English courses. How about taking the other AP English class your senior year, AP English Lit? Or does you school not have it?</p>
<p>My School Offers:
APUSH
AP Chem
AP physics B
AP English Lang & Lit
AP Stats
AP Calc AB
AP Spanish lang
AP world</p>
<p>I’m not at all interested in AP lit, i would despise the reading.</p>
<p>Don’t worry girl (or boy) I only have four too, and I failed three of the exams!</p>
<p>I do have four college classes going with me, though.</p>
<p>Oh, and Black it doesn’t work that way in my school. AP English Lang is the Junior AP and Lit is the senior AP can’t be interchanged.</p>
<p>Well even after that, you still got AP World, AP Stats, and AP Chem (asuming that you don’t want to take AP Spanish for certain reasons that I can totally relate to).</p>
