<p>alright, so my junior year I decided to take 4 AP/honors classes. combined with two sports and ECs I found my year to be really, really tough and stressful. so for my senior year I'm only taking 3 AP classes. so here's my question: how much do colleges factor in your senior schedule into admissions? I have the opportunity to change my schedule and take a 4th AP but I don't want my year to be overly difficult if it doesn't have much weight. I want go to schools such as UCLA/CAL/USC/UCSD</p>
<p>I think you'll be fine. It's only one class's difference. Plus, the UCs mainly look at your 10-11 grade classes/grades. They don't care too much about senior year.</p>
