studying abroad, for one semester Options

[pink.x.r0se]

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 think they've gotten rid of it again, but AP human geography was available for freshman for a year or two. Typically AP world is offered for sophomores too, but hardly anyone could take it because the people who were interested were all tied to pre-IB (or were like me and had band the one period it was offered). There may be more now, but I have no idea.
