<p>Hi, I am currently a junior in high school. I am interested in attending an ivy league school and studying science. Which is more impressive?</p>
<ol>
<li>To take online AP high school courses </li>
</ol>
<p>OR</p>
<ol>
<li>Apply to take courses at a university I am considering. (MIT, Princeton, Brown, Harvard)</li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks, greatly appreciated</p>
<p>The one that you would enjoy more is more impressive.</p>
<p>But to be technical, doing BOTH would be the most impressive.</p>
<p>IMO taking courses at the actual university would be more impressive , or at least give them a better idea of how you are as a student, assuming that the program is run by the university itself and not a separate entity. It’s also more useful; if you plan to apply to those universities, what better way than to spend a summer there? It shows you’re very interested in attending x university.</p>
<p>*“what better way to get to know the environment” sorry I grammar Nazi myself.</p>
