Ok, thank you for being honest. As many have suggested, I’m going to add more safeties, but I do think it is important to consider the context of my school.
No APs are offered for freshman or sophomores. As a junior, this year, I am taking as many as I could with approval. Will colleges consider this? I think from my research that they look at your rigor in context to what is offered. Also, the GPA was after sophomore year so it does not include the weight of any AP courses, so hoping I can do well in them this year, and I expect my weighted GPA to increase a bit.
Also, I plan to take 5 AP/advanced classes next year.
Side note: does anyone have thoughts on self studying for AP exams? Is this manageable/ worth it for anyone who has done it or knows someone who has done this?
Again, thank you to everyone who replies and I appreciate honest perspectives.
