If you got As in all those honors/AP courses, then yeah, probably. If not, and you got maybe a couple B's, then you will want to look into taking more of them.

I took 6 APs in high school, and I know that a friend of mine who got into stanford took 4 or 5 APs/honors his senior year. To get in there you have to take really rigorous classes. On top of that, you'll want to get above a 2100 on your SATs (that's considered the "new 1500"). I bought the Princeton Review's *Cracking the SAT* and brought my score up a lot.

If your school offers AP econ/gov, take that, becasue it's 2 APs for the price of one, one each semester, and each with its own test at the end. And what about AP calc? If you've managed to finish AP stat, you should be able to handle calc.

Of course, it's possible, especially with your set of honors classes and a good SAT score. The big deciding factors will be your extracirriculars and your essays.

Good luck!

thats not the only factor. Work hard for SAT's, take Subject SAT tests, write really good college application essays, maintain a good GPA/rank. Work hard and life should obey your desires!

It's possible IF you have good grades, do well on SAT's/ACT's, are active in clubs/community activities. They want people who are well rounded. They also want a great admission essay
