<p>It seems to be fairly common for students who have completed AP Calculus BC before they graduate high school to then go to a local university or community college to take Linear Algebra or Multivariable Calculus or the like for their remaining HS year(s). I was wondering if anybody here had similar experiences with post-AP English. Is there any "standard" for a senior year English course when one has already taken AP English Literature and AP English Language in his or her sophomore and junior years?</p>
<p>I'm taking AP English and next year I'm taking my speech credit and humanities. My school doesn't let you take college courses in English since we have like 80 English courses so it's impossible to exhaust the courses. I also might be taking a very advanced writing courses, but probably what I said before.</p>
<p>Roman... that reminds me of NCSSM open house ~ "Trust me... no matter what... you won't run out of math.... even if you've had Differential equations before your Junior Year."</p>
<p>lol Of course... if you did... you'd just go to Duke for them or something...</p>
<p>but I'm not sure if most community colleges offer anything above AP English classes...</p>
<p>^^ Ours doesn't :[. </p>
<p>And I have no idea what it is that you referenced lol.</p>
<p>You could always take another English class, AP or not, that covers literature you haven't read.</p>
<p>I'm taking AP Lit in my school, but some of the "regular" English electives seem to be covering some very interesting material (Shakespeare, world myths, etc). </p>
<p>If you like reading, you could just go to the local library and have fun with whatever, but some books I believe you get the most out of in a classroom setting.</p>
<p>Yeah, I agree that with English, it's more a matter of material covered than a matter of how high a level you're taking, especially once you've already taken AP. If your high school has any other courses in English, and especially if those sound interesting, take those before worrying about CC offerings.</p>
<p>Cool, thanks y'all. But as a follow-up question: would I be able to use a teacher rec from my 12th grade English teacher as one of my "core academic recommendations" if the class they taught me in was something like a class described above: a non-required literature class that covers lit I'm interested in and haven't read? Something like "Advanced World Literature" (as opposed to, say, the more "core academic"-ish English 11 or AP English Lit)?</p>
<p>Yes, that would count as your English teacher, but I personally don't think it would sound "more academic-ish".</p>
<p>Why not? It's a class in a core subject, isn't it?
Just because it isn't an AP class doesn't mean that it means less.</p>
<p>I guess what I mean to ask is if a teacher of an <em>elective</em> class in a core subject counts as a "core academic rec."</p>
<p>An elective core class is still a core class. All of our classes after freshman year are elective core classes.</p>
<p>The purpose of recommendations is so colleges can get to know more about your personality and how you contribute to the class/school. They can tell how academically motivated you are by your courses, grades, SATs, etc.</p>
<p>ok cool. Thanks for putting up with my denseness. :)</p>
