Should I take more AP classes or take a course I am passionate about and self study?

“Take a course in something you’re pass”

Assuming you were starting to say “passionate about,” I am right in agreement. It is not completely about AP coursework to gain admission. In many respects the university would rather teach you the college courses. You do not need to finish college before you even attend college with a series of AP courses.

Bill Marsh has hit the nail on the head! Your passion and the development of your interests are big elements here. Projects are a more personal vehicle for developing and discovering yourself. They feed your own intellectual growth and help you to discover the interdisciplinary nature of the real world. Projects are not exclusive to only one discipline. Like a good teacher, the project becomes a more personal multifaceted vehicle for discovery of disciplines and real world solutions.

Passion counts in the best research and in much of discovery. Without it, demanding work becomes a real chore. We need committed, passionate problem solvers.
