<p>I had one honors course (year long, math) out of six classes last year and this year I MIGHT have one semester of honors math and advanced english. So 2 out of 7 classes and only one semester each. I know thats really bad but might they forgive it? Next year I plan for 5 of 7 classes to be AP. I'm talking Stanford and the Ivies. Any insight would be much appreciated, thanks!</p>
<p>If you’ve taken the most advanced classes that are available to freshmen and sophomores, colleges will understand. Different high schools have rules as to what underclassmen may take.</p>
<p>Depending on which APs you’re talking about, 5 APs is a lot. You might want to rethink that, especially since you’ve never taken one before. Crashing and burning with too many APs will impress no one. A total of 6 to 8 will usually be enough to impress top schools, so 3 or 4 next year should be enough.</p>
