I will be taking a few AP classes next year, currently a freshman. Not sure if I should stay in Academic Decathlon because I will have to stay after school until 5-6. Should I drop out and focus more in my AP classes?
Yes, stay on the Academic Decathlon team. Colleges don’t just want you to have a lot of AP classes. It looks better if you have extracurriculars, especially those that are academic based since it shows it’s what you really want to do and will put in the effort. I think based off what you said, you can handle it:)
