<p>for a high school junior, should I put my senior course work because I’m choosing it in May 2012 regardless. And in my school, there is only one AP offered for juniors, so is that detrimental to my resume?</p>

<p>Admissions officers look at your classes in the context of your school, so if you took advantage of the most rigorous classes available to you, hence the one AP course for junior year, then you should be fine.</p>
