clarification: you’re right people, tons of kids get national ap scholar in senior year. thousands. but according to collegeboard.com official stats, only 17 kids in minnesota, and 26 in new york for a wider view, get it during junior year, as i did. that’s something like .0001% of kids who take APs overall, for some perspective.

about how different schools offer different amounts of AP classes. Only three (physics B, Calc. AB, and Euro) of the 8 APs were taught by my school. the rest were self study. so id didn’t depend on what my school offered.

i took bc in 10th grade, for he who asked.

I didn’t take my college classes at some lowest common denominator community college, i took them at Yeshiva University, which is currently ranked in the top 50 colleges in the U.S.

out of curiosity, how many kids out there have taken 5 college classes and achieved A’s in all of them by the time they’re applying to college? isn’t that out of the ordinary? isn’t that a ‘hook’?

As to the American Scholastic prize, i restarted my magazine after a year of neglect, wrote half the articles, and essentially wrote the rest of them through extensive editing. so i’m not “an important contributor”, i m essentially the magazine, as my teacher advisor plans on writing in my recommendation so the colleges are aware of that.
