Most students who take AP or honors courses are prepared for college level work because they have challenged themselves in high school.

As a rule, colleges like to see students take at least a few of the hardest courses offered in their high schools. As a college consultant, however, I am afraid too many colleges look at your GPA sometimes more than they do the courses you take, AP, honors, or regular.www.collegedirection.org
