<p>The same advice applies here, as the thread you posted on the Harvard and Yale boards.</p>

<p>I’m not sure where you got the idea that Ivy League schools want you to have 6 AP courses – that is absolutely NOT true. Some high schools do not even offer AP courses. Are those students somehow penalized in the college admissions process? Of course not!</p>

<p>All selective colleges (Princeton included) expect you to take the most rigorous course schedule at your high school. Your guidance counselor has to rate the rigor of your course schedule when they fill out the Common Application SSR. So long as your GC attests that you have taken the most rigorous courses available, as compared to all other college bound students at your high school, then you are okay. See page 2 of SSR report: <a href=“https://www.commonapp.org/CommonApp/Docs/DownloadForms/2013/2013SchoolReport_download.pdf[/url]”>https://www.commonapp.org/CommonApp/Docs/DownloadForms/2013/2013SchoolReport_download.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
