Do you think I still have a chance at getting into schools like northwestern, tufts, johns hopkins if I?

Question

will only have taken 5 AP courses during high school? I've taken chemistry and english language this year. next year (my senior year) I'll be taking physics C, calculus BC and english literature. Do colleges look down on you if you didn't take other AP courses your school offers? I'm just not that interested in the history courses, music or art so I really didn't want to take those. I could've taken more I guess but I didn't want to be too overwhelmed. Now I'm not too sure about the courses I've selected :/

Answer 1

Yes, make sure you sale yourself completely. Try to get recommendation letters from any alumni of the prospective school, as well as your principle and any community leaders that live in your area. Make sure that the school see you as a develop person, rounded and grounded.
