Self-studying AP --> doesn't help much?

<p>Hi everyone~ I attended a really competitive high school which provides a lot of APs (Almost you can get whatever you want) But when the junior year the school made a policy that once we choose classes for next year, we cannot change mind. It really screwed me up that I didn't choose class carefully and when I wanted to drop certain AP classes in junior year, I cannot replace them with other AP classes. </p>

<p>Actually the same thing happened for my senior year again :(</p>

<p>So I got 1 AP in sophomore year, 3 APs in junior year, and 2 APs for senior year</p>

<p>Self-studied 4 APs in junior year. Overall, I had 7 fives and 1 four for my junior and sophomore APs --> national AP scholar and 10 in total by graduation</p>

<p>GPA now is fine, 3.958 UW. </p>

<p>The question is, if someone who is really similar to me in everything, except the fact that he took all 7 APs in junior year in high school, while I self-studied 4 of them, am I disadvantaged? </p>

<p>Thanks!!</p>

<p>Nope, you are fine.</p>

<p>Wow, I really don’t think you have anything to worry about! In fact, you self-studying shows that you are in good shape for college.</p>
