I have taken 3 AP classes so far. I want to take AP Econ but I feel like I am more interested in honors anatomy. If I take former schedule, I will be taken total of 6 ap classes by the graduation.
Would be a much difference between 8 ap classes and 6 classes by the graduation?
What do you guys think?

Thank you.

Probably six of one, one half dozen of the other, but it’s your GC who will be rating your schedule for colleges; ask him/her. If s/he says they’re equal, take the one that interests you more.

IMO, no. Once you hit 6-8 AP’s, the law of diminishing returns kicks in and each subsequent AP will not make your application appreciably stronger.

I know you’re just cutting and pasting from a school document, but really, your school should be ashamed, and if this is how it prints on your transcript, it will reflect badly on the school and probably won’t do you any favors; bring it to someone’s attention to correct. It’s AP Statistics and AP Economics.

^^Lol :))

The second one is probably a little more rigorous, but if you don’t need the credit for Econ and prefer Anatomy, take Anatomy.

The second one is more rigorous but your admission to a college won’t hinge on AP vs. Honors Economics, and Anatomy vs. Sociology. It also depend on what you hope to major in. The second one would make a difference if you plan on majoring in social science.
