Admissions Advice

Is it okay not to take AP classes? Will it affect my chances in college?
Answered

Hi,

My school doesn't offer any AP or Honors classes (besides the one I'm in now), However, they have Dual Credit Classes (which I signed up for DC Bio and DC English). Will it affect my admissions chances for college if I don't take any AP classes but take Dual Credit?

Hey :)

It won’t affect your admissions chances, colleges take into consideration what your school offers. You’re taking the more rigorous course that’s offered, and that’s what matters.

Good luck and I wish you all the best!!

Big note: when you apply, make sure to ask your counselor or whoever is in charge of helping with admissions send out an email to the places you wanna go to to explain why u didn't take ap courses!!!!
