<p>michigan you won’t get in, villanova may be a reach due to your class rank. the rest seem fine. Are you in all regular classes? if so then villanova and carnegie mellon will also be long shots</p>
<p>Well my school doesnt offer APs and college courses, but thats because EVERY class is an AP so we dont make a distinction, so yes, I’m in the hardest classes offered.</p>
<p>An “AP” class isn’t a reference to a difficult class. An “AP” class is one that uses the syllabus from the College Board Advanced Placement Program that culminates in a nation-wide Advanced Placement Exam. Most colleges provide college-credit based on performance in the AP Exams.</p>
<p>If you are actually taking AP classes, you should list them (e.g. AP Calc B/C, AP Physics C, etc.) since that will impact your admissions chances.</p>
<p>I thought AP was just Advanced Placement, oh well, then i misspoke, all my textbooks and whatnot are AP course, but no they are not technically AP courses, my school doesn’t offer them, but I am taking the hardest courses available, sorry. Well can we just get back to chancing me, thanks.</p>
<p>If you’re using the AP books and understand the material, you should take the AP exams. Anyone can take an AP exam even if you are not technically enrolled in a class - some people just self-study on the weekends and take the tests.</p>
<p>A high score on a Calc exam and a science exam (depending on your field) would definitely aid your application. An engineering school wants to see that you can handle engineering math - an “A” in Calculus doesn’t mean much (the professor could have been easy, you could have really just covered pre-cal, etc.), but “5” on the AP Calc A/B exam is more definitive.</p>
