Hello,
How does USNA evaluate candidates that come from smaller schools that do not offer many AP classes? My school has around 500 students but only offers three AP classes (AP Psychology, Calculus AB, and Literature/Composition). I have taken the most challenging classes that are offered (all honors), but instead of offering more AP classes my school has dual-enrollment classes with a nearby state university that from my understanding won't transfer. My school is not falling behind by any means academically as around 25% of the graduating class scores 30 or above on the ACT. The main question is will my school's lack of nationally recognized courses hurt my admissions packet?
