<p>ok, but I dont think I qualify for AP Chem, I think it requires Bio II, and Im just in Bio.</p>
<p>there is no reason AP Chem should require any Bio at all.</p>
<p>Just remember that tough classes aren’t always the way to go. You need to do well in those too if you want to get in W&M. I knew one guy who took five AP’s senior year and blew most of them with low C’s and at best a B.</p>
<p>Many school districts, especially those that are somewhat impoverished and have low graduation rates, much less entries into a four year college, will state that Dual enrollment is a much better alternative than AP courses. If you want to attend a prestigous four year school, you need the AP courses. DE will not prepare you for the rigors. My daughter’s school system constantly promotes DE. Thank goodness she knew to take the most challenging schedule possible and is looking at W&M, UVA and many Ivy league schools.</p>
<p>Yes, you need to take APs because it will show that you opted for challenging yourself; however, do not over do it. Remember, you want to come off as a well rounded student, so don’t spread yourself too thin and have your primary focus be school.</p>
<p>Would taking this Summer Pre-Colligate Course at William and Mary on Early US History, help me into WM as well, I mean by counting for me as Extracurricular.</p>
<p>I’d be cautious about jumping into challenging classes you can’t handle, though, especially if as yet you’ve received average grades in a courseload with average difficulty.</p>
<p>It’s probably more detrimental to overload yourself than it would be to stay on your current path and excel there.</p>
<p>No, taking the Summer Pre-Colligate Course at W&M would not help you. William and Mary clearly states that this program will not factor into admissions.</p>
<p>really, well at least I get to see the Campus.</p>
