<p>My high school operates under a semester system, four classes per semester (block scheduling), and the only time AP courses are offered is during the spring semester.</p>
<p>“Exceptions” to this would be cases like AP Calculus AB, where the first semester is coded as Honors Calculus and the second is AP Calculus AB on our transcripts.</p>
<p>I was just wondering if other schools do this?</p>
<p>I began to think about this because I attended a summer program with other rising seniors and I couldn’t figure out how in the world some other students managed to take six AP courses… that is, until they told me that they took three per semester.</p>
<p>In terms of college admissions, take only the AP courses that suit your interests and strengths. My school offered a good number of the AP courses.</p>
<p>I only took 6. over four years The 6 that I felt genuinely interested in. </p>
<p>If you feel that cramming all the AP’s you can is the funnest, most productive use of your time than do it. If you’d rather get a job, volunteer somewhere, enjoy a passion. That will come across just as positively. I worked as a retail supervisor and in an alderman’s service office. I had fun during HS make sure you do as well.</p>
