When should I take AP Micro/Macroeconomics?

<p>I want to major in Economics, but my school only offers regular class in Micro/Macroeconomics. I will self study the rest of the material for the AP exam. I was planning on taking the class during senior year but I thought it might look bad because colleges wont know I'm planning on taking the AP exam. Any advise on when I should take it. I only liste my AP and Honor classes.</p>

<p>Sophomore: AP European History, Math 2 Honors, Chemistry Honors </p>

<p>Junior: AP US History, AP Calculus BC, AP Chemistry, Spanish 4 Honors </p>

<p>Senior: AP Spanish Language, AP Physics C, AP Statistics, Multi-variable calculus Honors </p>

<p>Colleges i'm interested in: Upenn (finance major), Yale, University of Chicago, Northwestern, Harvard, and Princeton</p>

<p>Wow the kid’s aiming for the ivies.</p>

<p>Welcome to CC. We’ll cut you down to size soon enough.</p>

<p>I’m currently taking it as a sophomore and I suggest that you take it also as a sophomore. It is an extremely hard class and you don’t really want to take it along with many other AP classes because it takes up a lot of time.</p>

<p>Well, at my school, only AP Macro is offered (not Micro), and economics is a required course that we can only take senior year.</p>
