<p>For senior year, I'm planning on enrolling in the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>AP Calculus AB (1 credit) </li>
<li>AP English Literature (1 credit) </li>
<li>AP United States Politics and Government (1 credit)</li>
<li>Marine Biology, Honors (1 credit) </li>
<li>Latin IV, Honors (1 credit)</li>
<li>Teacher Aid (.5 credit)</li>
<li>AP Math Study Group (.5 credit)
[After School]</li>
<li>Dual Enrollment Principles of Sociology (1st Semester) (1 credit)</li>
<li>Dual Enrollment Principles of Psychology (2nd Semester) (1 credit) </li>
</ul>
<p>So, here's the thing - I'm only taking 5 "real" classes my senior year (during the day). Although my two electives are credited, they're fluff classes. AP Math Study Group is basically an unsupervised study hall given to AP students as a privilege for being an AP student. Teacher Aid is basically helping a teacher make copies and grade papers - our school considers it a "business class" but its a far cry from a genuine business course. </p>
<p>I only need one credit to graduate, and in theory I'd be able to only take one class my senior year and graduate but I didn't want to do it. </p>
<p>I have the opportunity to take 7 actual classes as opposed to 5 but I know that senioritis is a real thing, and loading up on AP classes will only make it worse. I know there are kids who balance college applications, extracurriculars, and a social life, along with 7 APs, but I dont think I'm capable of it.</p>
<p>Will the 5 classes be a real hinderance to me in terms of college admissions?</p>
<p>(I'm looking into schools like BU, Simmons, Northeastern, USF, etc.)</p>
