<p>This is more of a "help-me" thread than a "chance-me" thread, but I would really appreciate everyone's feedback. =] </p>
<p>I go to a small, private boarding school. We have very small classes, and a very small grade. My school does not believe in rank, weighting or AP classes. (Yep, that's right). I have great grades, great test scores, great ECs, etc. BUT no AP classes or AP tests. If my school offers none will this hurt me? I go to a fairly competitive school, and am taking certainly the most challenging classes. All of our classes for junior/senior year are structured at an AP level, but none are called AP classes. </p>
<p>Basically, I'm just wondering how I can make this clear to colleges? Will I be penalized? Will competitive schools understand that I am taking challenging classes (and doing very well in them)? </p>
<p>Thanks for reading, any help is very much appreciated.</p>
