so i'm studying in a different country for half the school year next year (my junior year), so i can't take any ap's. my guidance counselor told me that that's okay, and that going to study abroad will look so much better in my college search (i want to get into a really good college, preferably ivy league). However, my friend is insisting to me that i basically won't get into college because of lack of ap's.
what do you think? -edit- i've taken two ap's from freshman/sophomore year, and am planning to just take more senior year |

I took APs my sophomore year, but for most of the IB/AP classes, freshmen were definitely not allowed and only probably 2 were opened up to sophomores because of requirements.
