If my school doesn't do Honors or AP classes can I still get into an Ivy League?
Answered

I'm a freshman in a tiny high school and my school doesn't offer any Honors or AP class programs, the only thing they do offer is the opportunity to take college classes online from 9th to 12th grade. Can I still get into an Ivy?

Hello, @zayleimyers!

In regards to your situation, Ivy League schools will see that your school doesn't have any honors or AP classes so they won't count it against you. I'd suggest self-studying for AP exams if a nearby college offers them as that would show that you were willing to find a way to challenge yourself and it would boost your application.

Hope this helps!
