How much does Senior Schedule help? And upward trend?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>^Look up to see the question^ lol
At my school there is basically 4 Aps max you can take before senior year, and that is if you nerd it up and take 2 maths a year ( I didn't do that because I enjoy having time to expand my horizons with the arts and take grade-level courses, but for each course I always take the highest level possible) so I only took 2 APs so far (both junior year) and 1 extra honors class, so I'm like 1.5 AP classes behind the nerds.
Anyways, this year I'm taking Ap Physics Mechanics, AP Calc, AP French, AP Gov thsi semester (block scheduling), and AP Physics extension first half the 2nd semester, gym second half the 2nd semester, AP Lit, AP World, AP Comparative.
Will they be like "Dayum, 7 APs is pretty nice"? or like "meh..."?
I know for a fact that this year I am taking the most APs of anyone at my school (the rest are taking maybe 1-2 honors classes instead of AP, or an elective, or dual enroll at a local college in an easier course, well except for the classes top 3 who take courses at a top 30 university.)</p>

<p>Also, my frosh year rank was like 25, soph like 17, junior year ended 13, and I'm pretty sure I can break the top 10 this semester. My grades went up slightly, and now I'm finally taking more weighted courses so I can compete GPA-wise.
Is this enough of an upward trend to be noticed? Or just like <em>nod</em> "yep, I guess he got a lil more serious"</p>

<p>Any answers? Plz and ty!</p>

<p>It’s hard to guess exactly what colleges will think, but I do believe it is a good thing they see such constant improvement.
It shows that you worked to get better, rather than were just smart and had everything down the whole time.
The people that adapt in high school and learn to study are the people who are successful in college, rather than the people who found high school easy and learned no study habits.</p>

<p>Oh crap. Lol. I like to think I developed some study habits, as I somehow managed to take 8 SAT practice tests, compete well in athletics, and get my highest GPA ever. But it seems to come and go. Like atm I’m posting on here instead of doing homework, and I already did nothing the past 2 days.</p>

<p>And yeah, im definately one of the guys who finds high school easy. I got a 2250 SAT, off 30ish hours of studying and only 4 people in my school got higher, but they studied tons. But they have much higher GPAs</p>
