<p>colleges will know that your school does not offer AP’s through your school profile (which was probably sent with your transcript), so you didn’t even have to take Physics online. Now that you are taking it though, it will look really good and it will show initiative. </p>

<p>you have a good shot everywhere, but middlebury and williams are stretches. but you still have a pretty good chance there too. you’re going to wind up at a great school without a doubt so just relax!</p>
