<p>I’m a junior hoping to go to Northwestern, I will apply ED and I’m an URM. I have good GPA, ok ECs but working on them, etc. </p>

<p>But my main issue is that so far (9,10) I’ve taken no AP classes, and only one AP test in which I got a 3. I am signed up for no AP classes my junior year, but I’m signed up for 5 my senior year. Now my question is, should I move some of my APs to junior year, since I won’t even have grades, or AP exam results of the 5 AP classes that I’ll take senior year by the time I apply ED?</p>

<p>Also, classes I may have to drop in order to fit in the APs are Leadership 1&2, and maybe Ethics. Will this be worth it to substitute it with like AP Bio and AP Chem? </p>

<p>I am looking to be a double major with RTF major in Communications, with some kind of engineering/science major that i’m not sure about yet.</p>

<p>Thank you very very much.</p>

<p>Next year I’ll be enrolled in AP Chem, and I already took the AP US History exam, not the class. Then, I’ll have 5 APs my senior year. Will NU consider that I am taking 5 APs my senior year? Or will they just focus on the fact that I have only taken 2 AP tests by the time I apply, when others have taken like 4 or 5?</p>
