<p>I know colleges look at the rigor of your high school classes, so how many AP/concurrent classes is considered as "a lot of AP classes" or "very rigorous course" to colleges? I am thinking of more selective or highly selective colleges. Also, I am assuming that A's and a couple B's are received in all of these AP classes.</p>
<p>As much as your high school offers, colleges won’t compare you to the school that has 20+ courses when your school might only have 3-4. </p>
<p>Another question: I’m been taking AP courses since 9th grade and I keep seeing people post their senior classes, normally with 4-5 AP classes. Is it necessary or better to fill up your schedule with more AP classes during senior year (say compared to junior year)? Thanks for responses.</p>
<p>I would take the most AP classes during senior year, because that is usually when you have the lightest schedule. </p>
<p>If you look at nationwide statistics it is uncommon for students to take more than 8 tests which might mean less than this number of AP classes since some students self-study and some classes have more than one test you can take. It would also depend on the number of AP classes offered and what is typical at your school, but 8 or more would be “a lot” anywhere</p>
<p>Ask your GC what s/he considers “most rigorous” for class rigor. That will be what goes on the recommendation.</p>
