High school courseload

<p>I'm a sophomore in high school right now, and my district, in its infinite wisdom, reduced grad. requirements for the future. Instead of having 8 classes next year (4 each semester), we have 6 classes, all year. Since most of the AP offered here requires an honors prereq. course, I really can't start AP until senior year. How much will it hurt my college app. if I can only take 6 AP total, in senior year? (BTW : Rank:1/478, 100 gpa, Mock trial captain, speech and debate, Odyssey of the Mind)</p>
