<p>AP Art is pretty time consuming. At our school the AP Stats teacher finishes the AP curriculum in November and then teaches the kids real stats after that. That’s always led me to think it must be easy, but he’s an unusually gifted math teacher. My non-math kid adored him. In our school AP English is hugely time consuming and not much fun. Both my kids opted to take regular English as seniors. It may have cost them some, but the oldest got into Harvard (but not MIT, Stanford, Caltech). Selective private colleges care about the rigor of your schedule, but it seems like BF only cares about the GPA. Your best bet IMO is to talk to seniors who are taking APs and find out what they are like at your school.</p>
