* Have open enrollment: Any freshman can take the course if they want. In this case, it's not hard to "get into" at all.
* Have prerequisites: They might require a certain GPA, teacher recommendation, or a high score on a placement test. This makes it harder to get into.
* Have limited seats: Even with open enrollment, if the class is popular, there might be a waiting list. This makes it harder to *secure a spot* in the class, even if you're eligible.
* Have a teacher recommendation requirement: Even with open enrollment, your current teachers may need to recommend you based on your academic performance and preparedness.
To find out if it's hard to get into *your* school's AP World History course, you should:
* Check your school's course catalog or website: This will often outline prerequisites, application procedures, and any limitations on enrollment.
* Talk to your guidance counselor: They will have the most up-to-date and accurate information about course enrollment.
* Talk to current AP World History students: They can provide firsthand insights into the course's difficulty and the enrollment process.
In short, the difficulty of getting into AP World History as a freshman is not inherent to the course itself, but rather depends on your specific school's policies and the demand for the class.
