I have been the 美國賓夕法尼亞大學(xué)—招生及入學(xué)面試委員會,南中國及香港區(qū)主席 for the last 27 years. Many schools, like PEA do not have AP courses. However, if students take the harder courses (called honors courses) at PEA, they can already take the AP exam. Universities, when they evaluate students, want the students to be taking the hardest courses that they can, and do well in them. They don’t mind that a student does not have the opportunity to take AP courses. Just make sure that the course your child is taking is at the AP level. Otherwise, take some courses on the side during the summer.

查該校網(wǎng)頁,它提供的AP課程有兩門:AP Calculus (AB?) AP Physics (B?)。
該校規(guī)模很小,十三個年級學(xué)生總數(shù)才209名。申請大學(xué)更看重是否選擇了學(xué)校提供的有競爭力的課程和成績。當(dāng)然,如果能自己自學(xué)幾門AP更好。

道理其實很簡單,大學(xué)想看到的是學(xué)生挑戰(zhàn)自己。如果一間學(xué)校里有20個AP,一個學(xué)生只讀2個,大學(xué)就會覺得該學(xué)生不敢勇于挑戰(zhàn)自己。如果一間學(xué)校有6個AP,這學(xué)生全部都讀了,大學(xué)就會覺得該學(xué)生很有上進心。其實讀完AP之后,過了AP Exam,就可以換來大學(xué)學(xué)分。其實大學(xué)不會因為你讀的高中提供少的AP課程而不錄取你。要是你想挑戰(zhàn)自己,自學(xué)AP的話,大學(xué)可能會更加欣賞。
