[quote=Anonymous]Maybe I am missing something, but it looks as if his only foreign language is self-studying Chinese. If that's his family's language, some colleges won't count it towards the required courses for admission. (It may be he just didn't list another foreign language because he didn't take an AP.)

He has a lot of APs, but it's not 25. I doubt it matters because he still has so many but... AP US Govt and Comp Gov't are each a half AP, so together that's 1. Same for micro and macro AP.

He also seems to have take several of the "gut" APs--environmental, Human Geography, Psych, African-American studies. Taking one or more of these is fine if it's a field you've got a genuine interest in. But taking several of the "guts" looks like someone who is just racking up brownie points.

He talked a lot about Yale. Looking at Yale's AP credit policy page, you can see that he wouldn't get any credit for them. https://catalog.yale.edu/ycps/table-of-acceleration-credit/ He also wouldn't get any credit for some of his other AP tests, e.g., Physics 1 and 2.

"Adam" doesn't tell us anything about his ECs, if any. [/quote]
