<p>i agree with greenblue and depending on your major, they may not be happy that you didnt take a language for all 4 years...</p>
<p>i suppose for most majors that wont be a huge detriment...</p>
<p>I have about the same schedule but full IB and i take Spanish instead of Econ, two of my classes are doubled up (IB/AP), and then i have two music courses, and then of course <gasp> GYM</gasp></p>
<p>Your schedule means nothing without grades attached to it. There's a huge difference between excelling in all those classes and barely making it through the year.</p>
<p>It also depends on what your high school offers. My school, for example, offers almost every single AP, so taking "only" nine is average at best. On the other hand, if you're taking every single AP you can, you can't possibly be penalized for not having enough.</p>
<p>...and then, of course, the adcoms will look at your ECs. If you were perpetually busy, then your schedule is very impressive.</p>
<p>Long story short, nothing is anything without context.</p>
<p>my school doesnt offer every single AP and Pre-APs are basically Honors with an AP twist(prepares you for AP classes). Most of the AP classes in my school require pre requisites so thats why most of my AP classes are packed in my Senior year schedule.
Most grades are 94-99. My school doesnt offer IB. and i dont see why i have to take 4 language classes if im majoring in Bioengineering/Premed?</p>

Most grades are 94-99. Plus im going for Bioengineering/Pre-Med so i dont see the point in taking 4 language classes....?
and is it rigorous enough for Vanderbilt,Emory, Rice, WUSTL, and Northwestern?
(Not looking at any Ivy Leagues AT ALL)</p>
<p>At my school we have a lot of restrictions. </p>
<p>In 9th grade, you can only take Algebra 2 Honors. That is the only honors class. Everything else is normal.</p>
<p>10th grade you can only take Geometry Honors & Latin Honors.</p>
<p>11th grade you can do whatever. We're only allowed to take 3 AP in total. So the hardest courseload would be 3 APs and 3 Honors.</p>
<p>12th grade that most APs you can take is 3, still. However you can apply for a waiver to get 4 APs. And then 3 or 2 Honors.</p>
<p>6 AP classes in one year is crazy, in my opinion. But then again, I've noticed AP classes aren't that much different than normal classes. </p>
<p>We have AP restriction to 3 because my school is like crazy intense, and stuff has happened.</p>
<p>But yeah, kids get into Ivies with just 2 APs a year. You don't really need to have that intense a schedule, especially if those courses aren't really related to your future major/career?</p>
<p>Oh never mind about how your courses aren't related to your future major/career. I thought a previous comment someone put was about your courseload......</p>
<p>Your senior year looks nice, and that is a good combination, those seem to have been the easy AP's for me. Everyone is right, it depends on your school and what they offer. Idk, I went straight into mine without a pre-AP course, consider that..and maybe starting AP's earlier..</p>
<p>well, @ my school, the max APs anyone can fit in their schedule is 9 or 10, so that looks impressive to me. But again, its what ur school offers that matters.</p>
<p>your course load is incredible but the thing is are you getting good grades in the classes you have passed... it's not about showing AP it's about handling the course load</p>
<p>I wont get senioritis i know- im personally self motivated and i try utmost on everything i do. I have good grades in them (usually an A to an -A) but my school offers around 40% of the total AP classes that CollegeBoard has</p>
<p>Many colleges require two or three years of a foreign language; I would check the requirements at your target schools.</p>
<p>As to rigor and whether you're taking "enough" AP classes... Reality check: geek_son's school offers no classes designated "AP," although some students do take a few AP exams and most do very well on them. He will attend his first choice, Harvey Mudd (a Tier 1 STEM-focused LAC), on a merit scholarship next year.</p>
<p>Don't worry about the number of AP courses you take. Stretch yourself and do your best, and pursue your interests outside the classroom too. Whatever opportunities are available to expand your learning, take advantage of them. That's what most of them say they like to see, more than a CC-style laundry list of AP titles.</p>
