Does it damage your chances of admission if you have not taken a lot of AP classes? My school does not allow students to take more than 2 AP classes a year and due to the size of the school (high school enrollment=200) and the resulting small selection of classes, it can also be difficult to get the schedule to work. So, I have only taken 3 APs (English Lit, Calculus AB and Calculus BC). Is this going to have a significant negative effect on my application? If so is there anything I should/can do to try to compensate?
