Which AP Tests to Take?

Applying to College

<p>Hi there CC! </p>

<p>I'm currently a senior and I'm about to register for AP Exams. I'm trying to decide which exams to take, because I'd love to save $89 whenever possible. I've been accepted to Stanford, UT Austin, Cal Poly, UMiami, and UVA so far. I'm waiting on Princeton, Cornell, VTech, and Cooper Union. I'm interested in studying architecture (most likely major), economics, or engineering. My possible exams are:</p>

<p>Stats
BC Calc*
Physics C Mech
Physics C E&M
Macro Econ
Micro Econ
English Literature</p>

<p>*I'm not in a BC class this year, I'm in dual enrollment calc that covers through the BC curriculum. However, I'd have to study extra and practice a lot for this test. This dual enrollment calc automatically transfers to VA schools. </p>

<p>I'm leaning towards Stanford or (hopefully) Princeton or Cornell. I know they get picky over AP tests, so I'd love any advice! Thanks so much :)</p>

<p>I would recommend BC Calc, Physics C, and English Literature. These would be rigorous, and the addition of Engllish Literature makes it more diverse.</p>

<p>Look up the AP credit listings at each of your schools and the requirements for your possible majors to see which AP scores would be useful.</p>

<p>Check each school on its transfer credit and placement policy with respect to the dual enrollment course to see whether the calculus BC test would be helpful.</p>
