I’m currently taking 5 APs (junior) and it’s pretty manageable (still hard af tho) but that really depends on your school and teachers and individualized workload. That being said, I don’t think your schedule lacks in rigor at all, it’s v v v challenging and if you know you can handle it, I would say go for it!

Re Sciences: At a minimum you should take Bio, Chem, Physics and an AP version of one of them.

You have chosen Bio, AP Bio., Chem, Ap Chem, and AP Physics 1, and AP Physics 2.
You don’t need to have ALL of those. I would not double up on sciences for two years.

What is your potential major?

If Engineering, I would ditch AP Bio.

I would take Spanish 4 Junior year. Top colleges want to see you get the 4th year of a foreign language.

@bopper I want to major in biology.

Keep AP Bio and perhaps ditch AP Physics 2.

Nope, I don’t think you’re going crazy on APs lol. It’s a good schedule! It’s similar to schedules of people I know and myself. If you’re a science person, then AP Physics and AP Chem together should be fine. However, if not, it might be really hard. It depends. Some people think AP Chem is really hard and some people think AP Physics is hard too. Others really like the subject and find it easy. It depends on how well you personally do in those subjects. Good schedule and good amount of rigor, imo.
