Ap stats = AP lite, for kids who can’t/won’t take Calculus (AB). So, if you really like math, you need to plan and take at least one semester of math at a community college (or Rice). Your current plan is actually counterproductive. Either you love math and you continue with it at the college level while in high school, or you just took whatever classes which you top with a “gut” math class like AP Stats… guess what colleges will prefer. if your choice junior year is AP stats, DO NOT take Calc3 in the summer, take it during junior year. In fact, do not take BC now… take AB now, then BC next year, then Calc 3 senior year. That will make more sense to colleges. If you really love math, keep with BC, but plan your next years carefully.

The problem with going way overboard like you’re doing is that it can easily turn against you
1° lack of sleep
2° suspicion you aren’t enjoying your classes, just taking as many as possible
3° risk for lower grades because you’re taking on too much
4° risk of burn out
