I took 5 APs and one honors course in high school. I came from a smaller school that had less AP options so taking only 5 wasn’t an issue for me but they like to see that you take advantage of the most your school has to offer. I’m also a science major so I did mostly science APs with some English and history in there for well-roundedness.
