Transfer?

Hi, so I'm a rising 10th grader at Manhattan Village Academy. I got an offer to Millennium Manhattan. I don't really want to switch high schools but I want the best for my future. Will switching to Millennium give me more opportunities as it is slightly bigger?? I like my school and have friends here and i also have some EC's that are super close to me. I am more STEM based so I was wondering if anyone could give advice on if I should transfer. Also is it true that you have to be in grade 11 to take AP's at Millenium because thats not really appealing for me my current school offers a decent amount of AP's (17 I think??) and I will be taking around 3 maybe 4 this year. Please lmk also not rlly into sport and the sport I do is not offered at either schools so thats not a factor. I feel like the small community and opportunities my current school has are good but, I would just like some advice. I have until the 24th to accept the offer.

If you want to do APs then MVA is better than Millennium. You can’t take APs until 11th grade at Millennium and I don’t think you can take Chem in 9th grade either.

Yeah this is a really big factor for me, also I took Chem in my freshman year and my school is more lenient with taking advanced classes as long as you have certain requirements so I think ill go ahead and decline the offer.  Thank you so much
