Question for my brother..

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>He's making his transition to his Junior year next year, and while overlooking the classes offered, I noticed that they offered a VERY LOW amount of AP Classes (4 actually). On the other hand, they do have a high number of EC's.</p>

<p>The school I have in mind is the one near us, which has over 13 AP classes that he could take, that would potentially look good on a resume.</p>

<p>That said, should he stick with the old school, or go to the new one?</p>

<p>Right now, I believe his EC's are somewhat similar to mine:</p>

<p>Debate
Music
NHS
Medical Assisstant</p>

<p>While the new school would have MORE AP's and EC's, wouldn't it be too late since he's a junior?</p>

<p>Anyone...?</p>

<p>Can someone reply, please?</p>

<p>It doesnt matter which school he goes too. I'd prefer a school where my rank would be higher.</p>

<p>Last year, he was easily in the top 10%.</p>

<p>Will the lack of AP/Honors classes at his current school affect his chances into getting into prestigious schools even though he has numerous EC'S?</p>

<p>As long as he's taking advantage of the most rigorous courseload available, he should be fine. He shouldn't be be penalized if he only had access to a few A.P. courses. Four A.P.s would only look 'bad' if the school offered, say, twenty.</p>

<p>my school only offers one ap class; english</p>

<p>Take as many Aps as you can and maintain a good rank in the school. I spoke with Ben on the caltech forum and he said that adcoms look at rank over gpas, provide the courseload is a rigorous as possible in the school.</p>
