@stayhydrated The bottom line is that most students who will get acçepted at a top school will take 5 academic core courses each year of high school. Most students will also take 2 electives. Often those electives are courses like business or computer science. Or art. Or music. Would it be possible to take both Chinese 3 and AP computer science?
If so, it would be hard to justify the substitution to an Ivy League school
