<p>There’s no point in taking both AP Physics B and AP Physics C. If you’re qualified to take AP Physics C, then people already know that you can handle AP Physics B since it’s more “elementary” physics (non-calculus stuff), which means that actually taking a course for it looks more like filler stuff that you’re doing just to have another AP course under your belt.</p>
<p>In addition, the self-studied AP Chinese, while potentially easy for a native speaker, will not improve your image much for the same reason – because you are a native speaker. Once again, it’s up to you whether or not you want to put yourself through that (I heard the test is not a breeze, even for most native Chinese students). And art history? Come on. Do you seriously have an interest in that? </p>
<p>I think you’re stretching yourself too thin. College acceptances do not pend on how many AP courses you’ve taken, and the time you save by nixing some of these courses could be much better invested in harnessing some strong extracurricular activities (you know, ones that you actually enjoy). Best of luck to you.</p>
