<p>At my school, there are no AP courses available. Will that matter when I apply to colleges? I take as many honor courses as are available, but will it be negative that I haven't taken AP courses?</p>
<p>It's not your fault. Your school's profile will be looked at and you will be judged in context. Ask your counselor about what I just typed to verify the AP situation.</p>
<p>My school had only 2 APs (both of which I took) and got into Dartmouth, where there are students who have taken 10-15 APs. The bottom line is: don't worry about it, adcoms are looking for what you did with the resources available. </p>
<p>On the other hand, if you feel you're up to it, you could always try self-studying for an AP. I've heard this is very difficult, and I would not recommend doing it unless you truly want to.</p>
