<p>I wouldn’t say it puts you at the top of the pool. What’s your real interest? Personally I could have the potential to take 10+ tests, but I choose not to. Why? It’s because I have no interest in taking classes like Econ, Languages, Psych, or Music Theory. It might help, but I doubt it puts you at the top of the applicant pool compared to people who took fewer APs.</p>
