<p>Why are you doing that? As most people said you won’t get credit for all of them. I am taking the APs that I know will get me out of unnecessary gen ed classes. I’m going into engineering, so I’m just taking the AP math classes (Calc BC and Stats) and the AP science classes (Physics B & C, Chem, and possibly Bio). Also, English Lit and maybe Latin (probably not Latin though). These will help get me out of classes. Look at the colleges that you are looking into before you take a bunch of APs.</p>
<p>looks pretty do-able to me
afterall, most of your APs are on the easy side
AP Lit -unless you are in esl, easy
AP Environ - easy
AP Art History - easy
AP U. S. Gov / Physical Ed - easy
AP Statistics - easy
AP Calc AB - medium, depends on math-level
AP Bio - medium
French III -iono, are u native?
AP Art 2D - iono
AP World History - medium
AP Comparative Gov - easy</p>

DUDE! Theres an AP for Phys. Ed.?! WOW…

</p>
<p>No, there’s not. I assume that P.E. is going to be his second semester course.</p>
<p>“French III -iono, are u native?”</p>
<p>LOL, why would third year HS French be hard? It’s practically required. Don’t worry, it’s still pretty easy even as a “non-native”.</p>
<p>Wow, that is a lot of APs! That is crazzzzzyyy. Maybe cut down a little to save you time?</p>
<p>Do remind yourself, that on top of those APs and ECs, you’ll also be applying to colleges and taking the time out to fill out applications, essays, making sure your test scores and teacher recs are sent in, etc. </p>
<p>If you are going through with it, then good luck! That’s all I can say…</p>
<p>I’m wondering why letigre is in French 3 as a senior. That most likely means he didn’t take a foreign language as a freshman. Why not? Ivies are going to look down upon him with only three years of a foreign language (assuming his school offers classes above French 3).</p>
<p><em>no comment</em>
Just be careful of a little something called senioritis.</p>
<p>If you’re going for the top Ivy league schools, I wouldn’t suggest you to take theseAP classes. I had a comprable course load with mixed IB/AP last year along with varsity swimming and weekly private lessons on an instrument. It’s absolutely doable if you can manage your time well, but most of the top schools don’t give credit for AP humanities even if you get a 5 on the exam. So if you want a knock-out transcript plus college credit, try taking 1 or 2 less classes, but switch out art and the government classes for science.</p>
<p>Here is my two cents: Last year i was a senior and almost as ambitious as you, i took 7 AP Classes along with a honors class. I stressed out so much for unnecessary reasons now i know that i should’ve cut down a few. I would seriously re-consider cutting it down to <6. Please think of your mental health. Also, make your senior year memorable unlike mine it will go by quick.</p>
<p>So you have 11 APs listed on there. Each AP at my school has easily one hour of homework associated with it; not to mention study time. Say you get home at 3:00pm everyday. You will be staying up until 2:00am everyday if you give each class the minimum hour to simply finish the homework. Now what about showers? Eating? Give that another hour. You will be up until 3 in the morning everyday.</p>
<p>Now here is my advice to you. Colleges will look down upon such a schedule. It simply is immature to have an AP sign up frenzy like this. Also keep in mind that each test costs like $60 as well. </p>
<p>Take the classes that you are interested in at the AP level. If you are a good student, 4 or 5 is a good number. I am taking 5 next year. Colleges want to see that you’ve learned through these classes; quality, not quantity.</p>
<p>I’m sorry dude, but there is just no way you can manage that. Even if you could somehow SCHEDULE all the work, your plan would fall apart very quickly. You need more study time for one class because there’s a test coming up? Too bad, you don’t have any time left unscheduled. You’re not quite getting one of the concepts? Once again too bad, you don’t have any time left unscheduled. You got sick a day? Well, now you have eleven hours of work to make up, and your schedule still has no room.</p>
<p>It’s a bad idea. Most people I know are swamped with 4 AP classes, and some of the brightest ones can BARELY handle 5. Nobody can do 10 AP classes at a time, and nobody will expect it of you.</p>
<p>

<p>Very true, I am taking 6 APs at my school and people think I am crazy. There is just not enough time in a day to get through all of that. Cut back, it’s not going to make you look any worse to colleges. Some people go into college with no APs. Don’t get too overly possessed.</p>
<p>I think that maybe you guys are being a bit too hard on him. What he needs to do is get rid of the self-study classes. They’re not worth it. AP 2D will eat up way more of his time than he can imagine. However, it’s not like he’s going to have a significantly higher workload than if he took honors classes. I mean, AP Stat and AP Calc won’t be giving him more math homework than their honors equivalents.</p>
<p>I agree with whoever said you’re taking the “easy” AP’s. It seems like you want to look good and just filled your schedule in with whatever was manageable. If you want to get into HYPS take BC Calc, trade APES for physics or chem, and take world history as a CLASS. Why are you self-studying senior year anyway? They won’t show up on your transcript or the common app (aka they’re not helpful in admissions) and HYPS or any comparable schools won’t give you credit anyway. I know I sound a bit harsh but it seems you’re taking a lot of AP’s to show off. Admissions will be more impressed with quality over quantity. Sorry if I got the wrong impression :(</p>
