Here's a list of AP's that I've taken/will take:
AP Calculus
AP Bio
AP English Language Composition
AP Micro
AP Macro
AP US History
AP Environmental Science
AP Stat

Do you think taking 8 AP's would be enough?

In terms of college admissions it's: AP Available for you to take(total)/AP you take.

My school doesn't offer many AP classes. I'm taking all the AP classes offered by my school in addition to self-studying most of them.

anyone????????

Do you mean this upcoming school year, or our whole high school career? If it's this upcoming school year, I'm only taking two: AP Biology and AP Chemistry.

I meant our whole high school career. Sorry for the confusion.

8 AP's are more than enough.

My son took 14, and it did not seem to do him that much good in the admissions process.

FantasyVesperia

Oh okay, then about 4.

Wow all of you guys have amazing abilities. It seems that most of you are taking at least 10 APs.

emotionprelude

Emily556 I've just noticed that you have 21 APs! How did you manage to study all those?

reed207

Taking 8-9 this year because it wasn't until after the AP exam dates in my junior year (last year) that I discovered you could self-study AP courses. If I had learned earlier, I would have covered lots more ground :/

In school:
US Gov
Stats
Calc AB
Chem

Self-study:
Calc BC
CompSci
Psych
Eng Lang
Bio (may be dropped later)
