<p>Hey Poeme, thanks for your detailed thread, and congrats for getting into UPenn. You make some good points, especially about teachers teaching to the test (which I already evaluated in before deciding my current schedule). </p>
<p>Someone was telling me that it’s not how many APs you take, but how well you take advantage of the APs offered in your school. But still, this basically entails taking numerous AP classes. I’m going for around 4-5 myself:
AP English (death), APUSH, AP Bio/Env. Science, AP Gov, and pushing for one more, which would probably just be AP Macro or AP Stats.</p>
