Pre-AP Classes = Weighted!?

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>My high school unfortunately weighs Pre-AP (equivalent to an 'honors course') the same as AP classes. </p>

<p>I took the hardest possible courseload my sophomore year at my old school (currently a junior) and so I didn't get awesome grades (all A's with B's in two classes) whereas the students at my current school took insanely easy courses like pre-ap world history (i'm taking it right now...i have a 108. i dont even have a textbook). </p>

<p>So, my rank is correspondingly lower even though I've taken more APs than any of my classmates. For example, There's someone in one of my classes that's ranked 12/567 with no previous APs.</p>

<p>How are colleges going to interpret this? Will they disregard my rank/place less weight upon it since it's not really an accurate representation of my high school performance?</p>

<p>I'm ranked 44th, btw.</p>

<p>You may want to tell your guidance counselor this and maybe she'll mention it...</p>

<p>if ur applying 2 a college and sum1 with no APs is applying to the same colllege..and if that other person goes 2 ur school..u have a better chance of getting in since they take ur weighted GPA out and make their own GPA distribution 2 applicants...so in the end...u would have a higher one than sum1 with no APs and a higher avg. than u</p>
