Will I be penalized for my school's lack of AP/adv. courses?

<p>We have ONE AP course. I'm taking AP Eng Lang and U.S History exams this year. U.S History is the course we have, and I'm taking AP Lang online (that's a challenge).
I'm literally the only one in my ENTIRE school taking ANY AP exam. The U.S history class is actually AP/dual enrollment (I'm the only one who opted for AP, I think dual is a joke). </p>

<p>I see some people with like 8+ AP's, and I can't even get a basic chemistry class ;(. I feel like I can't compare... Will I be hurt for this? =(</p>

<p>I feel your pain, I’m an international kid from Singapore and there’s no AP anywhere in sight… I have to take my 2 APs online and it’s damn hard. I don’t even know how much I can score and there’s no teacher, plus it’s only 2 compared to those kinds that take like 10… I guess maybe we should try and explain our situations and hope for the best. </p>

<p>Anyone that’s in the Admissions business can help us out?</p>

<p>No. The counselor’s report lets colleges know how many APs your school offers, and how rigorous your schedule is on context of your school. Context matters a lot to universities. You have nothing to worry about.</p>

<p>That helps a lot! Thank you!</p>

<p>My kid goes to a high school that does not offer AP courses until senior year, and then you can really only take 2. She got into U of Chicago EA… so don’t worry about it, just take full advantage of the opportunities that there are at your school.</p>
