<p>I go to a relatively poor high school, only offers about 7 AP’s. I took all of them and my final SAT score came out to be 1850 ish. There is a really wealthy school called Newport high school and they get almost three times more money for their funding thus causing them to be able to offer about every AP classes possible. I also heard 2200’s is the standard over there too, I am stressing out because I could’ve went to that school and maybe it would have changed my life who knows? I really wanted to major in engineering(I have a deep passion for math) but with all these brilliant students from that school applying to the same university as I am ( University of Washington/UC Berkeley), I feel like I am going to be prioritized last.
I have a 3.9 UW, 4.7 W, ranked top 10 in my school yet I feel like a freaking peasant compared to them. :(</p>
<p>Colleges judge you in the context of your school so they won’t blame you if you don’t have as many APs as kids who go to wealthy schools. Plus you’ll have a higher class rank staying at your current school.</p>
<p>^S/he has a point.</p>
<p>There are likely going to be kids applying with 15+ APs to both schools, and there will also be kids with no APs applying to both. As long as you challenged yourself as much as you could, you’ll be fine. Plus, as @dsi411 pointed out, your class rank will be higher at your current school.</p>
<p>One more thing to consider (assuming you’re not a senior; if you are, just ignore this): Have you tried taking the ACT? Some people test better on the ACT than the SAT. Just a thought.</p>
