I don’t think the specifics of your schedule (since it is more than adequate) will be what increases your odds of a Stanford acceptance. Of course you need to do well in all your classes, and knock it out of the park on your standardized tests.
It’s your “something different” extracurricular/interest/hobby/whatever that will tip the scales for you. The extra time you’d spend on extra APs is better spent on something like THAT.
Good luck!
@Eagle016 - and I know some who did extremely well. But, I agree it is the quality of your high school calc teachers and related education that should determine. The student needs to judge how they’ve done and take into account the quality of the education.
This schedule is great! You don’t want junior year to be too hard especially with standardized tests but it should still be the “most rigorous”. Calc BC is a tricky class (at least, it was for me!) and takes up a decent amount of time. AP Chem is also touch. But course load definitely depends on your school. If your GC says your schedule would earn the “most rigorous” checking off, then you are perfect! Or, just have a general idea of what others in your school are taking.
At my school at least, we don’t offer too many APs, and most competitive sophs take 1-2 APs and most competitive juniors take 3, one or two take 4. But no one is allowed to take AP English or History until senior year.
I think your schedule is great!
Thank you everyone for the feedback I will definitely take everything into consideration.
And sadly the weird thing about my school is that they make you take AP Lang in 11th grade and AP Lit in 12th grade if you were to take those classes.
@Eagles016 Not if the teacher teaches the class well. Kids at my high school who take MVC as freshmen usually do really well. But I agree just a 4 or 5 on an AP doesn’t truly show whether they know calculus well enough.
Really read #19  
Your schedule is great as it is. You don’t need to add another AP. Focus on your 'something special '.
Understand that you are posting to CC where 3 APs is nothing. Most of the kids here take 6-8 APs in one year
@encadyma that doesn’t mean OP needs to take 6-8 APs.
@annana it doesnt but coming here for advice isnt very beneficial. Mostly everyone here will say 3 APs is nothing.
@encadyma idk, when I posted a proposed schedule with 4 APs, a lot of people told me it looked like too much.
^depends whether adults or kids reply. Kids almost always say “take whatever you want. 6 Ap’s? Sure!” 
The PARENTS of former HS students, and college students, who have actually experienced trying taking 5-6 AP classes are the ones saying “watch out” and there is no race to take as many AP classes as possible, because “the student with the most AP’s doesn’t win”.
They have seen how much time multiple AP classes can actually take and the toll not getting enough sleep has on their kids and on their grades.
If you want to not “kill” yourself in a misguided effort to"impress" other students- because taking AP classes wont impress college admissions offices,-then by all means- take 5-6 AP classes in one year.
edit - if you want to kill.
Yeah I feel 3 APs are solid. The kids that take 5+ APs usually have no life thus no personality and college admissions officers don’t like that.
@bopper @Eagles016 I agree that jumping in to Diffy Q as a freshmen is tough but nothing says that taking Calc BC means a student can’t retake Calc in college. Sometimes a second run through is just what you need to pick up nuances and reinforce skills.
If someone isn’t STEM in college, take the AP exam and corresponding credit and run. If one is a STEM major, it’s worth considering retaking at lower levels of Calculus in college. The correct answer will vary with the individual.
Unless you’re really good, I’d say go from BC-> Calc 2. Ucbalum recommends asking for a Calc1 final, to see if you can do well on it, before you skip Calc 1. And on the same idea you could ask for the Calc2 final, to see if you can go right into Calc3… but in my experience Calc2 in college tends to go more in-depth than BC and if you’re going to major in STEM you really want that background fo mastery, not just proficiency.
Take the credit if it’s a non-sequential class (ie., US History, Psychology) OR you’re not going to take another class in that subject (ie., math is sequential but if you won’t take another calculus class in college, take the BC credit and don’t worry about it).
@MYOS1634 What if you take calc AB instead of BC? Would it be necessary to retake calc 1?
I know MVC might be too difficult for some to go off AP knowledge, but I’ve heard calc 2 is usually easier than that.
A most colleges (ie., not MIT or HarveyMudd :p), you do Calc 1, Calc 2, then MV.
It seems that AB is a lighter Calc1, but the difference is between Calc2 and BC. Going straight from BC to MV for a Stem major is no a good idea in my opinion. Obviously, how high schools teach things will factor into things.
So, with a 5 on AB, you can go straight into Calc 2 but checking with the Calc1 (retired) Finals is a good idea. If you have a 3, it’s a very very good idea to take Calc 1 (you and half the class will be reviewing for mastery). If you have a 4, definitely check the final.
So what are you guys saying? I should not take Calc BC next year?
