Hi, I'm a high school student and I wanna make sure if it would have a negative effect on my college admission when I have a good GPA but low AP test grades.

Should I take AP or DE?
I'm currently a junior in high school and was wonder if having no AP classes matter. Currently, I have 6 college credits from Dual enrollment and am currently enroll in a class—my high school offer about 6 AP classes. Last year I was enrolled in AP Computer Science Principles but switch out because I wasn't learning anything. Should I take some next year or stick to my plan to take all my classes at the community college?

Am I doing something wrong?
Hello all I need some help,
I am a rising junior in a dual enrollment program through my highschool (which is small and sucks) and I have taken 7 college classes so far, and plan to take around 20 courses by the time I graduate. I have strong grades and I'm ranked high in my class but I don't know if my ECs are good enough. I don't have a lot going on so I'm wondering if I should do more or if what I have is fine. I want to major in nursing in college so I will look for more medically focused ECs. If anyone has any suggestions or helpful advice that would be great.
Also side note should I take the SAT/ACT I've been thinking about it but I'm not sure if I should actually do that.

It sounds like you’re doing really well academically, especially with the dual enrollment courses — that’s a huge strength on your application since it shows you can handle college-level work. For extracurriculars, quality usually matters more than quantity. Since you’re interested in nursing, I’d recommend looking for activities that show commitment to healthcare or helping others. For example:
Volunteering at a hospital, clinic, or nursing home
Joining or starting a health-related club at your school
Shadowing a nurse or other medical professional
Getting CPR/First Aid certified
Participating in community service projects
Even small, consistent involvement in something medical or service-oriented can stand out if you can show dedication over time.
As for the SAT/ACT, many colleges are test-optional, but taking one can give you more options — especially if you end up scoring well. Since you’re a strong student, it might be worth trying at least one practice test to see how you do, then decide if it’s worth taking officially.
Overall, you’re in a great place already. A few focused activities tied to your interest in nursing will strengthen your application even more.

I think it would be depends on how your school doing. If they show average GPA and standard deviation, it might be matter, but if not, just keep get good GPA.
