This blog really brings back memories of highschool. Sadly, even though I finished a bunch of AP classes and tests and everything, all the colleges I applied to were like "fuck your shit" and I didn't get accepted anywhere ><.

It's pretty standard for HS kids aiming at upper colleges to take a lot of AP classes. In my high school (back in the day lol) many kids just took the max amount of AP classes they could (I think it was 6) so it didn't even distinguish you from anyone else. I guess it depends on how many of the AP tests you take (and how many you score 5s on) and whether your college will take credit for them.

Where do you go to high school and where do you intend to go to college? From my experience the difficulty of AP classes varies greatly from high school to high school, which is why colleges don't really put that much stake in how many of them you take. I'd much rather have a few APs and all A's than a lot of APs and worse grades, or just take less APs and spend my time studying for the SATs.

Too bad it won't distinguish you from all the other 100000 Asians trying to get into Ivies. Oh well.
