So i was just wondering how many AP classes you have taken or will take?
My total is 7 when i graduate.
AP English
AP Calculus
AP United States History
AP French
AP Physics
AP Biology
AP World Civilization
And does anyone think its stupid how colleges look at your unweighted GPA instead of weighted?

The more competitive schools actually look at both and if the difference is more than 5 avg points, they look at the weighted [at least the 4 competitive schools I've visited do such].

My total will be nine when I graduate:
AP World History
AP Chemistry
AP American History
AP English Language
AP Psychology
AP French Lang
AP Calculus
AP English Literature
AP Government/AP Economics (both Semester classes)
I think it's dumb that some colleges only look at your unweighted GPA, but the more competitive ones also look at the weighted GPA.

I think it is a good idea to look at the unweighted because my high school doesn't weigh AP classes.
I will have taken 6:
AP Chemistry
AP Literatute
AP Calculus
AP Language
AP Physics
and college in the High school Spanish III

Some schools in my state add an instant 10 avg points to any Honors or AP class, which I think is ridiculous.
My school doesn't all that many AP's. Most of mine are a combination of 2 AP 1 semster courses, which I count as one.

Oh man... I won't have taken any AP classes by the time I graduate. Thing is, my school offers very few AP courses. I would love to take some of the courses you guys have listed, but my options are significantly more boring in the AP area, so I take the interesting classes that are, unfortunately, not AP.

It sucks that many colleges look at unweighted GPA, but there are some that look at weighted and some at both and those that look at unweighted supposedly give you some extra points for taking harder classes.

I am very appreciative for the five points that is added to my AP classes. It also, for the most part, keeps kids who take easy classes for a better GPA out of the top 5%, which is nice. Some colleges keep the points other discredit them and still other reevaluate your GPA based on honors and AP classes. It's confusing!
I'll be taking 6 by the time I graduate:
AP Calculus AB
AP US History
AP Statistics
AP Language
AP Chemistry (I'll taking that my senior year and it scares me A LOT!)
AP Gov/AP Econ (both nine weeks each!)

AP US History (taken)
AP Language + Composition (taken)

Has anyone taken AP Euro? I want to know if that is considered an easy AP test. I'm not sure if taking 5 AP's is going to be too stressful, so I might drop that one.

But colleges can see your corse selections and stuff..so idk. My school weights like crazy. 10 points. Our val has a 107 this year. I think that's more ridiculous than anything else.

By the time I graduate I'll, sadly, will only have two APs: AP Biology and AP French. Which sucks because my school doesn't offer a lot of APs and the process of getting into APs in my school is so competitive. What sucks even more is that technically, I took an Honors class. My school used to have Ecological and Molecular Biology; my sophomore year I took Molecular Biology which was considered the hardest of the two--and it was! It was practically like an advance course. Then this past school year, my school changed Molecular Biology to Biology Honors! So that's a bummer since it won't show up on my transcript. I was qualified to take AP Chemistry, but I decided to take a creative writing class instead--a class that I'll enjoy and is closer to what I want to major in.
Hey Nathan! Have you already taken AP French or you're going to take it senior year?

ive taken all honors though, and i decently on the act (30) and i dont wanna go to like yale or somewhere that hardcore, so it shouldnt be too big of a deal (hopefully...im still kind of nervous.)
