<p>As the others have mentioned, UM is private. But also, I wanted to say that I seriously doubt that Ivy League (or any college for that matter) will discriminate against you because your school doesn’t offer a bunch of AP classes. They require something called a “school report,” which is filled out by your counselor and shows the college what your school is like. Obviously, if you did not have the opportunity to take a lot of AP classes at your school, that will not be held against you. I am in a similar situation, because my school only offers 3 AP classes. I am applying to Cornell this year, and I am pretty sure that I have read somewhere that what they look at is that you have taken advantage of the opportunities you have been given. Some people are given more opportunities than others, but that will likely not be a strike against you. However, you should definitely take all the AP’s your school offers, but it doesn’t matter when, just as long as you take them.</p>
