<p>Okay, I'll just set the criteria here. Be as objective as... oh... an admissions officer. And do take into mind how easy it is for one to lose one's mind. And if you need further reference, here</a> are the classes I've taken so far. But to make it brief, I will have taken 8 or 9 APs (not counting self-studies, which I don't know if I'll do... depends...) by the time I graduate. And I've already taken two years of Orchestra. </p>

<p>Now, here's my schedule so far:</p>

<p>AP English
AP Calc BC
AP Physics B
AP Comp Gov
Honors Spanish 4
Orchestra</p>

<p>There are seven periods at our school. AP Statistics got "booted off" due to conflicts. Might be a TA or peer tutor during the seventh period (you've heard about this before).</p>

<p>I'm wondering on whether I should ask my GC (maybe at the registration day tomorrow (since that's what I did the last time, with great regret on my part (I believe y'all have heard about this before as well :)))) if I can change Orchestra to AP Statistics. What should my course of action be? Remember how I've asked you to reply. Not taking into account more personal stuff (like how I might enjoy Orchestra, or how I may detest being in it).</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>If I were an admissions officer, I would like a kid that took a variety of classes and performed well in all of them. An interesting person, not another robot who simply passes tests. That said, another AP would make you look like yet another robot and also might be too stressful. Give yourself a break. You will perform better generally if you don't push beyond your ability level. Push yourself, but don't push too hard. I think you could afford to loose a few AP's and have fun! Make yourself interesting!</p>
