<p>@CosmicTurtle13 - I agree with everything except the AP part… Too many APs drive colleges away? Where did you hear that? Of course colleges want you to take the most rigorous courses that you can handle, so it’s ridiculous that they would penalize you for taking too many challenging classes… So 4-6 is not ideal, the ideal is as many AP classes as you can handle without letting your performance drop, assuming that your school even offers more than a couple AP courses.</p>
