<p>In my sophomore year, I took only one AP class. In my junior year, I have 3 Ap classes since there are other classes that will conflict with my schedule. As of right now (I'm a junior), I have a total of four AP classes. Does that look bad if I want to go to a UC? Our school has about 11 AP classes and I have trouble choosing some of the AP classes since some include classes such as AP Art, which I'm only in Basic Art. </p>
<p>I wanted to take an AP language class, but it will conflict with one of my SAT prep class. If I take it next year, I do not want to skip a whole year of a language. I know other people at my school who are taking 4-6 AP classes as a junior.</p>
<p>Also, would it look bad if my schedule is not as rigourous? For example, I'm taking AP English and AP History right now, but my other two classes involve a SAT prep and a TA period. </p>
<p>Yes, this is absolutely awful. Since every single school in the United States offers its students at LEAST 20 APs, anybody who has taken fewer than 18 has absolutely no chance of ever going to any college.</p>
<p>I think 4 is a fair amount. I mean, of course it depends on how well you do in them and your scores on the exams also. And which UCs you’re applying to, they definitely vary in terms of statistics necessary to be considered. </p>
<p>I don’t know what a TA period, but to be honest, I don’t think a course dedicated to SAT prep during school hours is going to look stellar (just because of the fact that there’s many kids who study on their own and don’t get school time for the SAT and still do very very well)</p>
<p>Some people truly don’t know. Some people have been told by their parents that they need to take like a million A.P. classes to get into college and they believe it. The poster came here to simply ask and see if that was true. To be sarcastic with the poster for just asking a simple question is kinda mean and uncalled for. A simple yes or no would have sufficed.</p>
<p>I think it ranges. At my school, I think students are taking rigorous classes in their junior and senior year. For me, I think my harder classes (even if there is only one AP) takes place during my sophomore and freshman year. How do colleges know about the other student’s classes and compare it to mine?</p>
