AP vs Mid Terms

I’m an an indian student (currently junior).
I want to give the AP exams(Calculus BC,physics 2,physics c:mechanics) this may,but i have mid term examinations in my school just 2 days after the final AP exam(physics c);
I’m confident that i will get at least a 4 in physics(both) and 5 in calculus bc(syllabus done);
do you think it will be a good idea considering my mid term performance might be affected?
(i really really want to get into cornell)

AP scores are not a required part of the application. Your scores will have little to no bearing on admission.

What if I focus more on mid terms and only give calculus bc…syllabus is really similar and I’m pretty confident about it.

If you think you can do it, and the fee poses no barrier, then do it… Simple as that

Take APs it’ll look bad if you took the classes without taking the tests.

I haven’t taken the classes…only a handful of schools provide the courses in all of India.plus,you need to be an American citizen to attend those schools…giving the tests on my own
