Are AP and Honors Classes On my Application Enough For Prestigious Colleges?
Answered

Hello,

I'm currently a freshman in high school. Sophomore year I'll be taking honors classes and hopefully AP mixed with honors classes my junior year. I was wondering if taking 2-3 honors and 1-2 AP classes would be enough for me to at least be considered into a prestigious college.

If not, how many advance classes should I be taking each year? Also, what are some things that I should do to make my application stand out?

Thanks.
