<p>At my school the typical competitive applicant would take:</p>
<p>LA: 3 honors, 1 AP
Math: 3 honors, 1 AP
Science: 3 honors, 1 AP
History: 1 regular, 1 honors, 2 AP’s
Elective: all regular (almost none are weighted)
Language: 2 regular, 1 honors, 1 AP</p>
<p>7 regular / 11 honors / 6 AP’s</p>
<p>Of course, that’s just the “average” competitive applicant, someone who would probably go to NYU or something. More competitive applicants would take a couple more AP’s, maybe skip one or two courses, or be in the gifted math program (BC calc junior year, multivariable senior year)</p>
