Too Many APs for Senior Year?

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

Just wondering if anyone can offer some advice on how many AP’s is “too much” for senior year?
These are the courses I have in mind (for now):
AP Lit
AP Calc
AP US Gov/AP Comp Gov (my school offers both as one class, each taking one semester)
AP Chemistry
AP Art History
Biotechnology (1 year)
Technical Theater (semester)
Teaching Coach (semester)

I chose these APs mostly because I’m actually interested in the subject (besides Calc because that’s all I can take for now besides Stats which I’m terrible at) so I feel kind of reluctant to drop any of them
Would this be doable with college apps?

Also, this year I’m taking 3 AP’s (AP Lang, AP Bio, AP Physics 1) and it hasn’t been overwhelming so far.
Thanks :slight_smile:

If you are doing well in AP Lang, AP Bio, and AP Physics this year, your schedule looks ok for next year. Is it Calc AB or Calc BC? Calc BC will be more harder and with the your other AP’s you will be very busy. You could start college apps as soon as they open up, some will over the summer, so you could ask for teacher recommendations this spring. If you want to wait, then look to work on college essays over the summer so you won’t be over-worked in fall. Good luck!
