Taking 6 APs + ECs and sports?

<p>So I'm planning for my senior year, and so far my plan is this:
AP Calc BC (took AB this year, so shouldn't be too bad)
AP Bio
AP Lit
AP Computer Science
AP European History
AP Macroeconomics
and my language, French</p>

<p>(This year, I took 3 APs.)</p>

<p>I'm also involved in sports (only in fall, but I train offseason) and practice take a good 2-3 hours after school. The two APs that I'm not sure about are CompSci and Euro. I love history, so I want to do Euro, but I also want to try CompSci, so I decided to sign up for both. Is this too much, especially with sports and other ECs? If not, anyone have a suggestion of which AP, CompSci or Euro, I should take? I'm about the same level in history and math/science. </p>

<p>Take at least one out</p>

<p>Given that in the Fall you will also be spending a lot of time on college applications and essays, I’d take at least one out. As for which one to take out, visit potential college websites to see their AP credit policy. If they do not give credit for a particular test, drop that course. If they limit the amount of credit in a subject, and you’ve already maxed out that subject, drop that course. For example, if the college will give credit for AP Lang or Lit, and you’ve taken the AP Lang test, do an English elective instead.</p>

<p>If none of the above applies, and assuming that all classes are year-long, drop CS or Econ.</p>

<p>At my school, AP Macro is required (or you have to take regular Econ), and it’s supposed to be the easiest AP at my school. Computer Science would definitely be the first one I would drop if I chose to take 5 APs instead of 6. Thanks for the suggestions.</p>

<p>@greenleaf4 start writing ur common app asap.</p>

<p>That’s a good suggestion @wcao9311</p>

<p>You might want to drop AP Calculus if you’ve already done AB. I’m not too familiar with how much more BC covers, but that’s just what I’d do. Take into consideration of what you want to study in college. If you really love history and want to study it in college, than take AP Euro instead of AP Computer Science. Just don’t spread yourself too thin, and remember you don’t have to take every AP class your school offers, just the ones you’re interested in and love. :slight_smile: </p>

<p>half of BC is ab.</p>
