How many AP classes/honors should I take for a competitive school?

@juliaa99
To be clear, I am not suggesting that you take AP Physics C, AP Chem, and AP Bio. It is good to take one of them though.

I you can develop a 4 year plan that includes AP Eng. Lang, AP Calc, and one or two AP science, and 2 or 3 more APs that interest you, that will be a good schedule. Admissions is looking for quality over quantity. They like to see good grades and test scores.

@juliaa99 “Are honors classes considered or are they not really worth much?”

Usually they are helpful because they can bump up your gpa and also prepare you for AP courses.
