^^Very true.

Also, if you really love science, you can self-study for the AP exam. If you start in September, and are good at the subject, you can surely do it. This is a great way to show competency (although in theory AP scores do not count towards admission, only towards possible credit and/or placement once you are in). At some schools you can place out of basic classes and core requirements, or graduate early, with good scores on these tests.

Colleges vary on how they respond to AP scores, so if you have your heart set on a particular place, find out whether or not you will enjoy a proportionate benefit before you go to the trouble of testing.
