Wrong. As theworld8905 said, AP Art History will not help you get into business school, but business electives - even college prep or honors - WILL. And I don't appreciate you changing what you're saying, from colleges expecting you to take all AP's available to colleges expecting you simply to take more AP's if your school offers more.</p>

There is no such thing as good and evil and right and wrong; It is a perspective. I guess you don't like it when your wrong because my points do make sense.
Wait, didn't you just say there's no such thing as wrong? Then why am I wrong? It's just your perspective. The differerence between our perspective and yours is that we have experience on our side - we've been to info sessions, talked to college reps, and gone through the admissions process. You seem to be making stuff up from what you claim to be logic. Nobody said that college admissions is logical. Trust me. You will find that out soon enough. Go to the decision threads for schools like Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, and especially MIT. You will be amazed.</p>
<p>
That's what we've been doing, but you seem to think that you're right anyway. Seriously, dude, you have no experience. You do not understand college admissions.</p>

I've seen no proof you're right and I'm wrong. Vice-Versa but at least I'm being logical.
The people who know it best are admissions officers. We're not going to bring any in or anything. Although you could ask benjones on the MIT board or Ben Golub on the Caltech board. They are actual admissions officers.</p>
<p>i say that even 12 APs is a lot. By the end of my senior year i would have taken 5 AP classes (one of my AP classes is a two year course) and i would have taken 7 AP tests. This is what my school caused me to have and colleges know that. If you are in this positio there is a solution. I have taken a college course during the spring of 06 so i think that holds more merit than an AP course. Its not how many APs you have but which ones you take.</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>I didn't change read everything from an hour ago. it's what you agree to know because if your subconcious mind you are agreeing to what i say but twisting what i say.</p>
<p>No seriously, You just said no, and saying I'm wrong and colleges don't penalize people for not taking what they could be taking. There is no explanation about how it works. Its just a comment on the opposite. If any of you took Geometry you know, an explanation is like a paragraph proof but of ideas not mathematical concepts. In state standarized tests, you also have to use primary documents to prove your point.</p>
<p>Masterus. Seriously. Stop talking, and start reading with an open mind. You are going to get nowhere in life with that attitude. And if you stay on the track you're on right now, you won't get into Harvard. I'm not kidding. There are brilliant people on this site who get into amazing schools, and yet you seem to be disagreeing with all the experience CCers on this board. I recommend you go to the Harvard</a> board. They're used to pompous freshmen who think about college too early and are filled with misconceptions.</p>
<p>No, I'm not joking about the Harvard board. Go there and start posting.</p>
<p>I read it and it says "THE KEY TO GETTING INTO HARVARD (OR ANY IVY) IS THIS: </p>
<p>MAKE THE ABSOLUTE (!!!) MOST OF YOUR HIGH SCHOOL YEARS. TAKE EVERYTHING YOU CAN FROM--AND GIVE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE BACK TO--YOUR HIGH SCHOOL(S). TAKE THE BEST COURSES. DO THE THINGS YOU LOVE." </p>
<p>My point exactly.</p>
<p>By the way my early decision already got accepted :)</p>
<p>Ive been following this thread for a while now, so I have read all the posts on here. Anyways, Id say I agree partially with both of you (note: Im talking about Masteruss current argument everything else, I completely agree with the rest of you). If a students high school offers only one AP class, that student will probably have more leeway during admissions. Colleges probably wont hold something against them that they couldnt possibly change. Students should also take more AP classes if their high school offers them, but only to a certain extent. For example, Student A and Student B both have taken 13 AP classes. However, Student As high school only offered 17 AP classes whereas Student Bs offered 22. Will that hurt Student B? Mostly likely, no.</p>
<p>Harvard accepts sucessful students. Taking more AP class and recieving A's for both semester is not sucessful than taking normal classes and recieving A's??</p>
<p>I'm not because my dad was a harvard Graduate and I've taken high school courses. Some boy scouts leadership awards plus other minor ones. Some charities and Walkathons.</p>
<p>MAKE THE ABSOLUTE (!!!) MOST OF YOUR HIGH SCHOOL YEARS. TAKE EVERYTHING YOU CAN FROM--AND GIVE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE BACK TO--YOUR HIGH SCHOOL(S). TAKE THE BEST COURSES. DO THE THINGS YOU LOVE." </p>
<p>You misinterpreted what that said. That means exactly what serendipity said. As opposed to your previous arguments. You are changing your arguments as time passes and you do not think that anyone notices. You really think that people who are applying for Ivies are not going to catch on? Cmon do what theoneo said and read with an open mind.</p>
