but colleges also like to see that you’re challenging yourself with a few AP’s

it shows that you’re willing to try and follow through with it

so really just do your best! don’t get lazy either AP’s are hard…so don’t go overboard and sign up for more than you can handle…

AP classes are usually weighted, so a medium gpa in an AP class would be about 4.0 (low/medium B’s). So, even if you get low B’s, you’re still getting what someone in an honors class would be getting with straight A’s.

With AP classes comes the exams, which gets you college credit.

AP classes are looked upon by colleges and universities higher than honors classes.

I took all IB classes (which are weighted like AP) and I don’t think it made a difference at all. Colleges look at your unweighted GPA, not your weighted.

because it shows that you go for more challenging stuff and colleges like to see that

good luck!
