<p>This probably seems like a stupid question, but do colleges see how many APs are offered in your school? For example will a college see that my school only offers two AP classes and that I took both, or will they just see that I took two APs and not know how many my school offers? </p>
<p>I'm uncertain about this and was just wondering because if they did not see them, it would certainly put me at a disadvantage against students from more affluent, larger school systems that are able to offer their students more opportunities.</p>
<p>Usually this type of thing is based on what you councilor said. If in the context of your school, the classes you took are "most rigorous," then that's what the colleges will see. Often they also get course catalogs from the high school so they can check. I wouldn't worry about it.</p>
<p>Many high schools submit a school profile with their student's applications in order to give colleges some context and perspective about their curriculum, population, etc. Our high school's profile lists all AP classes offered, and also provides the overall range of SAT/ACT scores for the past 5 years, a list of all colleges attended by students in the previous graduating class, the number of students who take AP exams, etc.</p>
<p>This is a pretty common publication. quik_razor, you can ask your GC if your high school does one.</p>
<p>Your GC will usually explicitly mention you took the "most challenging"
(or "challenging" or etc) courses exhausting your school's AP offerings.</p>
