Agree with @momofboiler1- and going further to say this is a gentle introduction to something you will have to face if you go to CMU, MIT or Stanford: saying good-bye to having straight As/4.0 (5.0 if MIT). In ascending order of typical difficulty (approx!): HS → Honors → AP/DE → 4 year college/university. You might be one of the very very few to manage it, but 1) probably not and 2) it’s not an important success metric coming out of those schools so not a good priority.
