Does UCLA like ap?
For highly selective schools such as Ivy League schools, Stanford, and public universities like UCLA and UC Berkeley, it’s common for accepted applicants to take about eight AP classes throughout high school, though that number can range from five to 13.
Can I get into Ivy League with AC?
With all of that being said, it’s unfortunately very rare to get into an Ivy League school with C’s during your freshman year, or at any time during your high school career. Yes, there are exceptions but it’s never a good idea to hinge your hopes on the very small chance that something might happen.
When should I take AP® Biology and chemistry?
A typical timeline is for students to take regular biology their freshman year, and AP® Biology their sophomore year. For science-minded students who want to take several AP® science courses in their high school career, the timing typically changes to AP® Chemistry in the freshman year and AP® Biology in the sophomore year.
What happens if you fail the AP Biology exam?
Failing the AP® Biology exam is not the end of the world! This exam is given every year and you have the option to retake the exam as often as you like. You can retake it if you’ve failed the exam in the past or if you passed but would like to try for a higher score.
Can I take AP Calc BC without taking AP Calculus AB first?
Pre-calculus is a prerequisite for AP Calc AB, and you also need trigonometry and algebra experience. This is the course after AP Calc AB. At my school, students can take AP Calc BC without taking AB first, but it is not recommended. I would definitely suggest taking AP Calc AB before trying your hand at BC!
Should I take AP courses before college?
For more factually based information, you should consult the College Board or teachers/counselors at your school. Related: Should I Take AP Courses? This is a great course to take before college if you have the time in your schedule! I would recommend this for upperclassmen, unless you are a very talented sophomore.
