Do you guys think that taking these AP Classes online is a bad idea?

<p>My schedule goes like this: </p>

<p>1st sem:
AP English Lit
State Studies/Family Dynamics (These are required classes, but they are pretty much blowoff...)
Advanced ACT Prep (Just a test practice class, no homework ever given)
Calculus </p>

<p>2nd sem:
AP Biology
US gov/Economics
AP Chem
AP Calculus </p>

<p>My Past AP Scores:
AP World History: 5
AP English Composition: 5
AP Stats: 4</p>

<p>I am thinking of doing AP US Gov in the 1st sem online and AP Microeconomics in the second sem online. I would really like to boost my class rank, but I'm also thinking that this option to raise my GPA is suicidal. In the fall, I have to be busy with my volunteer service activities, extracurriculars, my senior project, my college apps and essays, not to mention I would like to self-study for AP Chem b/c I've heard that that class was fatally hard (that's one AP that I feel that I can potentially fail.) I'm not the smartest genius kid in the bunch, but I do maintain my grades and I am a hard worker. BTW, I'm not planning to get into Harvard or any ivies. I suppose that the most exclusive school I would like to sign up for is UT Austin. </p>

<p>Do you think that adding these classes online to my after school schedule is a bad idea? Please give me feedback on this guys, I only have a few more days to decide! Thanks. </p>

<p>Actually, I’ve done this thing before. I was taking six classes in school including APUSH and honors classes. I took AP US Gov online after school during the second semester and I maintained an A in that class. I also did well on the exam (got a 4). I would say go for it!</p>
