<p>Because my school was unable to place me into AP Government (schedule conflicts), I decided to take AP Stats and do government through an online program. The program I am using is called WOLF Online School, and it is an accredited program that is used by many people in my area for required classes like Health and Computers. However, I have heard that colleges frown upon online core classes. The rest of my schedule is otherwise rigorous; by the end of this year I will have had seven AP classes and a college course. Will I be rejected from prestigious colleges because of my online core course? Or do colleges not really care? (By the way, I'm looking at UC Berkeley, UW, CU, Whitman, Bowdoin, Oberlin, and Middlebury.)</p>
<p>My guess is that it won’t make a difference. Especially if 1) your guidance counselor recommendation mentions the issue or 2) you take the AP test ANYWAY at the end of the year. My son took several community college classes, and took the AP test when appropriate as well.</p>
<p>I did not intend to take AP Government online (just regular) because I am more of a math/science person anyway, but that might be a good idea-- I will consider it. Thank you very much for your response; I was beginning to worry! Any other input from anyone?</p>
