School offers 20+ APs, but top students take much less - admissions impact?

If you are taking what the typical top student takes at your school, why do you think you might have an issue? Likely nobody has the time to take all of the APs offered as I’d guess a number of them are electives.

The person to speak to and the only opinion that really matters is that of your guidance counselor. Top tier schools want to see that the guidance counselor checks off that you have taken the most rigorous schedule available at your HS in his/her college recommendation. Talk to your guidance counselor and see if he/she will check that box off with your schedule.
