Do you have questions about your financial aid award letter? Have you registered for orientation? Do you know how to schedule your classes? If you need help with this or have another college-related questions, remember that a counselor is available to help you. Be sure to take care of all the tasks your new college is asking you to do so that your college dreams become a reality. If you need help, connect with me!

Warmly,

Ms. Reyna

Preparing for College and Career

Advanced Placement Courses/ Cursos Avanzados

Advanced Placement

AP Classes

Colleges take into consideration students who have participated in rigorous academic programs. Honors courses, AP courses, community college, or advanced courses such as a 4th year of math or 3rd year of Language Other Than English (LOTE) on a transcript to indicate that the student is likely to succeed in college. Admissions officers will use the school profile to determine how many advanced courses a high school offers and to what extent a student took advantage of those classes. AP Exams are administered in May and are scored on a scale of 1 (low) to 5 (high), with a score of 3 considered passing. Please note that not all colleges provide course credit with an AP score of 3 or higher.

Benefits to students

Students may possibly earn credit (AP Central), advance placement, or both, in college.
Admissions officials know that an academically impressive high school transcript is a good indicator of college success.
AP courses prepare students for the rigor of college.
Classes add an additional point to GPA (ex. an “A” in a regular class equals 4 points but an A in an AP class earns 5 points towards their GPA).

* Students do not have to take an AP course to take an AP exam.
