<p>My school doesn't allow anyone to take more than 3 APs a year, although a few kids do get a waiver to take 4, but that is the max. I've taken a decent amount so far. None are offered in tenth grade, but I self-studied World History and got a 5. As a junior, I took AP Spanish (though I got a 2 on the test with an A in the class) and AP US History (5), and this year I plan on taking 3: Calc AB, Physics, and Computer A. Is this a sufficient load considering the policy of my high school to get into a good school. </p>
<p>Also, would it hurt me to send my AP grades from junior year with a 2 on Spanish?</p>
<p>It seems generally agreed that if you take the most APs that you are allowed by your school, then you are good to go. You have no control over what your school allows you and colleges know that. </p>
<p>I would assume, and I'd like clarification, that self-studying is really good. </p>
<p>I would personally like to know how much weight they put on those who scored multiple fives and one 4 with a few self studies.</p>
<p>Generally, I think it is also agreed that one low AP score isn't going to hurt you. But I'm wondering if really good AP scores will help you more than one low AP score could hurt you.</p>
