<p>masterus,
everyone hates you.
and all your "facts" are just speculations, which you know nothing about.
and why do you always mention harvard? are you one of those lil kids that just think harvard is the best school out there? i mean ****, there are schools that aren't even ivy and are ranked higher than harvard. what was harvard last time on the list? 5 i think.</p>
<p>Masterus, the number of AP classes is not what colleges look for. The more APs you take, you don't necessarily have better chances. It all depends on your character. Sure they play a slight role in describing your commitment to learning, but they are not a major factor in your acceptance. You must also keep in mind that not every school has a lot AP classes, and that the student might not necessarily be able to take all of the ones he/she would like to. So all the more, colleges are not going to take the amount of AP classes you took, into consideration.</p>
<p>i think that the reason that harvard is considered to be the best is that when the list by us news and world is made it is made in accordance to how each college sees the other college. Since harvard has a lot of money, it is the richest, is is seen in a high light by other colleges.</p>
<p>Please reread my earlier posts as, I have made a point about that. If your school has 20 APs. You are expected to take more than if your school had 10 APs. You have about 3 years, maybe even 4 years for you to start. If your school have 5 APs, you are expected to take that because of the alloted time in High School.</p>
<p>I say Harvard because I want to go there for college and then Medical school or John Hopkins for Medical School since those 2 have the top Medical School programs.</p>
<p>Having every single AP class in the world is not going to make a difference for college admissions. Yes, more is better, but I don't think that 7 AP classes is going to look more impressive than 5 and a couple of honors. And you certainly do not have to take any online. Colleges do realize that kids are not capable of taking all AP's playing varsity sports, being president of multiple clubs, and volunteering in whatever spare time they have left. I couldn't take AP biology last year not because I wasn't smart enough or capable, but because band class interfered with my schedule and forced me out of it. That year I won multiple awards for band that I obviously wouldn't have if I didn't take the class or just quit altogether. And this year I couldn't take AP Chemistry, again because of band and spanish class in the way. I might have been able to take it if I could have taken spanish my freshman year but my school did not allow anyone to do so.</p>
<p>So I did my best with what I had. I got 98's in both chemistry and biology honors, and I got a 770 on the Biology-E SAT II with just studying by myself after not having any biology for more than a year and a half. And plus the AP Bio teacher pretty much killed any chance at a life of anyone in that class with tons of take-home tests and labs. The week before the exam she forced everyone to do a FULL AP test every single night for a grade, and I know there would have not been enough time for me to do it with swimming and band and FCA going on.</p>
<p>A perfect kid would balance all AP's his junior and senior years with tons of EC's but are any of us perfect? Some people on here are pretty darn close, but I think Harvard and Yale does not want all perfect people because that would make for a very boring campus.</p>
<p>Lol Masterus, you obviously have no clue what you're talking about. You are not "expected" to take the maximum. You really need to talk to an Admissions officer from an ivie college to set you straight, as you really have no clue. I'm still speechless that you actually believe that, wow.</p>
<p>masterus, here this post would be targeted toward u, I didnt want to include this in my earlier post. Wat about the process do u want to know about. Wow you are forgetting about one thing masterus. That even though your school might offer a lot of APs tat there are a lot of school rules that would not allow you to take a lot of those. for example in my school, since there is a major system some APs are set aside for the majors. All of the APs or most of them are made available during senior year for all seniors. Now knowing that is the polcity in my school how many APs can a person really take during senior year. I am taking 5. I have a team and i have a lot of leadership roles in other clubs, what time do i have for like 7 APs. As well colleges know this so it is not true that you have about 4 years to take them all. Remember that. Go to high school first and then you will realize that your fantasy is totally different from reality. Go take a chill pill.</p>
<p>Masterus: how do you know so much about the admissions process, are you an adcom?</p>
<p>a lot of perfect kids would not only make a boring campus, But wouldn't u be tired going into college if you took all those classes. Watch masterus come in here and say "no." Im going to laugh at his ignorance. Here i can tell the future.</p>
<p>Did i say maximum? I said you are expected to take more. What does more mean? It can mean adding a little amount or a lot. It's your school's classes. Ok, think about this If one school offered 1 AP Class and another Offered 10 AP Classes. One person takes that 1 AP Class while another person at the High school with 10 AP Classes also takes one AP Class. Who is going to be penalized more? That one person is limited to that 1 AP Class while the other had the choice of continueing with more.</p>
<p>I am Ignorant? Read my earlier posts. I have conquered all these points with earlier arguements. Read them and You will understand because I understand you haven't read them.</p>
<p>Masterus: how do you know so much about the admissions process, are you an adcom?</p>
<p>he doesnt know anything, he just says the first thing that comes to his head. And i have read every single post in this thread and your ignorance masterus is evident in every single post of yours.</p>
<p>what you pointed out masterus is a different point. I see you are learning something finally. In that case you have to remember that there are circumstances that would not allow the person who has 10 Aps in his or her school such as family emergencies. What would you say in that case, it is his or her fault? No that is out of her control and colleges understand that. They are human and understand that noone is perfect, unlike you masterus.</p>
<p>Yes, that may be true, but you keep missing and eluding my point. I'm only going to repeat this once more, and slowly, so you can understand what I'm saying. You.............are..............not.................."expected"...............to.............take................the...
.........maximum...............amount.................of..............APs.................at.............
.........your.............school. Is that clear enough for you?</p>
<p>If you read my posts then how come my earlier posts already contradicted your question?</p>
<p>Jashper, I never meant maximum. I said you are expected to take more. Read my earlier posts. More can mean a little added on or a a lot added on. See, you're thinking more on 1 aspect. That is biased to the word more in a weird way.</p>
<p>i think that was too fast for him jashper. And his question did not contradict your earlier posts. In your fantasy maybe that is true.</p>
<p>Once again, I'll say it differently once more. You are not "expected" to take more. Notice the keyword is "expected", I don't know why it takes 3 posts to get that message across to you.</p>
<p>World, Read earlier posts the recent posts I typed. They were mainly retyped posts I typed from 2 hours ago. I didn't learn anything because my idea is still the same if you read my earlier posts. next time if you don't understand what i write don't respond. You are reading one post. To comprehend the Mass idea at hand. Everything must be read.</p>
<p>ok. so with the way i have my schedule set up for the rest of highschool, i will have taken 12 AP classes, 4 years of debate class,which takes away from a period of an AP, but i like debate AND SO DOES HARVARD, which gives an extra g.p. junior/senior year, 4 years of football, 3 years of public relations club, and over 200 hours of community service. to masterus, this probably seems like i won't get into any "Ivy" even if I applied, but i'm not going to because i want to stay on the west coast, so Stanford for me.</p>
<p>the Mass idea? Huh?</p>
