<p>The link is as posted above. I never really looked much into it once I figured out I most likely won’t be eligible for any cash money with my meager three math/science exams by the end of junior year.</p>
<p>^I’m disqualified because my school lacks a computer science course. Also our Physics department is horrible and we only have calculus AB</p>
<p>^I’m sorry.</p>
<p>I could never get that award! I’ve only taken AP Environmental Science and did get a 5, but my school doesn’t even teach AP Calc BC, AP Physic C (or B…), AP Bio, or AP Computer Science.</p>
<p>^Puggly that sucks. My school teaches everything except computer science and Calc BC. But my AP Bio class next year is probably only going to be 3 or 4 people. My Spanish Lang class is going to be 3 people. LOL</p>
<p>^ We had like 10-15 kids sign up for AP Physics C this year and my school still won’t teach it. I really despise my school.</p>
<p>Is it small?^</p>
<p>We have over 1000 students in the school, so it’s not entirely small.</p>
<p>So it’s about the same size as mine 1200 students or so. I hate my school so much. I was going to pursue early graduation, but I don’t want to because it’ll compromise my chances for Johns Hopkins because I won’t be able to take calculus.</p>
<p>^I was thinking about graduating early as well, but ditched the idea.</p>
<p>^Yeah, some high schools are awesome. There’s one like 80 miles north of me called Clements High School that has every AP class in the book and around 3,000 students with a large Asian population…I just think my life sucks when I think of schools like that.</p>
<p>I regret not being able to take these 8 classes too.

<p>Public schools usually have strict prerequisites to get into higher level math/science courses</p>
<p>^Yeah, there are prerequisites for almost everything except APES.</p>
<p>I’m sad My parents succinctly informed me that they do not care about APs or my self-studies or anything to do with my education. What I would give for Asian parents (or URM ones…then I wouldn’t have to worry as much, jk.)</p>
<p>^You don’t want Asian parents seriously. I’m Indian, so technically Asian. They’re all about education. It’s not even funny how stressful they make everything.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>In that case, I’m going to take 15 in my HS career if, by some miracle or another, I end up getting into H next year.</p>
<p>^AP’s aren’t really super important.</p>
<p>^I know. But if I end up getting into H, I’ll take that many just to set a record at H. But yes, I know they are essentially useless.</p>

<p>Gah then why is there a 50 page thread about them? (Not arguing with you…I’m just asking a question because I, like many others, have self-studied APs.</p>
<p>Hmm, I wish I had known about such things as self-studied APs earlier. As I am an upcoming senior already, I don’t know if I should bother with self-studied APs? I’m taking 3 aps next year (Calc AB, Eng Lit, and Econ), and I don’t think AP exams taken next May are gonna be helpful for my college applications? So, the question is, should i do it?</p>
<p>PS. i’ve already done AP Bio and Eng Lang this year, and well i failed Bio but got a 4 for eng.</p>
