<p>I think the big question is this: how does that one AP compare with your classmates’ schedules?</p>
<p>Most of the colleges on your list will evaluate you in the context that you’re coming from. If the culture in your school is that the ambitious kids take an AP or two as juniors, and then several of them as seniors, I don’t think you should worry too much about it. On the other hand, if the really ambitious students in your grade were taking 3 APs as juniors while you took one, that could be an issue. Even then, I don’t think it rules you out. It’s reasonable for a 3-sport varsity athlete not to overload himself. IMO, your grades and test scores do not take you out of the mix even at the most competitive colleges.</p>
<p>Another question: do you play any of your sports well enough to play in college? (OK, maybe not in the Big 10 at Northwestern, but in the Ivies, or D3 for JHU, Chicago or WUSTL?)</p>
