Still a rigorous courseload?

Applying to College
1

I had planned on taking 7 AP courses in my senior year: Calc BC, Phys B&C, English Lit, Gov/Eco, Euro

But due to scheduling conflicts, I have to replace Phys B with Stats and Euro with Forensic Science(a non honors course)

Both sophomore and junior year, I took the most advanced courses and APs as I could leaving one spot for Golf each semester.

Is it reasonable to assume that having Stats and Forensic Science instead of Phys B and Euro will hurt my standing “taken most rigorous courses available” if not properly explained by my counselor that there were scheduling conflicts?

I am particularly interested in how the Ivies+Stanford+MIT will view it.

Thanks alot

<p>I think it's safe to say that 5 APs (or is that AP Stats?) is still a rigorous courseload. Or in my opinion, insane, but I can't talk, I'm also taking 5. Talking to admission people at Stanford, I got the idea that they don't frown on going insane with APs, but they don't want students taking tons of APs just for the sake of admissions.</p>

<p>I think you're fine. Anyone not from cc would tell you that you're doing too much.</p>

<p>yeah it is AP Stats, sorry but at my school the class is a complete joke that doesnt prepare you at all for the test.</p>

<p>Ok, so instead of 7 APs, you have 6. Not a big deal.</p>
