I have been the 美国宾夕法尼亚大学—招生及入学面试委员会，南中国及香港区主席 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.
