<p>I'm a bit concerned that, even though I have a high number of weighted classes, I may be a bit low on the ones that are AP. I have 8 raw AP total, while others have up to 12 (the highest I know of). </p>
<p>I took 1 AP class and 1 honors class as a sophomore (basically only two availible to me). </p>
<p>For junior year, I had signed up for 5 AP classes, and my counselors at the time told me I would probably get them. At the beginning of the school year, however, I was told there were unrectifiable scheduling conflicts and that I had to go to 3 APs and 2 honors classes.</p>
<p>And even at this stage, my school basically screwed me over because I'm stuck with AP Scholar with Honor instead of Disticntion to put on my app; some of my other friends were able to get all the APs they signed up for out of sheer luck. Now, even though my GPA is as high as it would have been with all the APs I had signed up for, I feel at a major disadvantage in terms of perceivable awards/course rigor. </p>
<p>Senior year is here, and almost the EXACT same thing is happening. I had signed up for 5 APs, but I had to drop to 4 APs because of conflicts. Now I have to take a community college course to make up for the dropped AP.</p>
<p>Again, I have 13 weighted total (including CCCs); the absolute highest number (including all weighted) I know of is 16. While the latter case is by no means common (neither is my case for that matter), I am worried that it will look like I was slacking off in comparison to my peer(s). </p>
<p>So will those honors classes kill me? I'm just feeling really frustrated right now because I was WILLING to take more AP courses....but my school just wouldn't let me, even though it will appear as though I had more availible to me. Seeing only 4 scores on the AP report, so far, is very disheartening....especially since my peers were able to have more. I know Cal says it weighs honors and AP equallly in terms of GPA, but still......</p>
