<p>First of, it’s “course load”, not “coarse load”.</p>

<p>But the answer is: It depends. What APs/honors does your school offer? If you have taken the most difficult curriculum presented to you and have done well (as you have), then you do stand a chance. If you go to a school that offers 20+ APs… then you don’t. It’s really all about context.</p>

<p>With all the cultural classes you’re taking, it almost seems like you’re trying too hard; it is as if you’re taking them solely for the purpose of putting on pretense for college admissions.</p>

<p>Also, where are your English classes? (Your math seems a little lacking too, perhaps try AP Calc AB?)</p>

<p>Your GC will be asked to declare if your course load was among the most rigorous available. If he/she says YES and you have a top GPA, then you’re viable. But that’s only the first step among many. Your class list is irrelevant b/c not every school is the same.</p>
