That schedule looks much more doable. ^^
I’ve read stuff about taking too many AP courses since I’m from a pretty competitive school as well. My friends are taking 5ish AP courses junior year (we have space for 8 courses a year) I decided against what they’re doing since increasing the rigor too quickly can backfire. (I’m only taking 1 AP this year, I’m a sophomore too.)

However, I have heard this from my peers. In my school, if you drop the course before October, it will not show on your transcript. That’s why some of my friends are taking 6 or 5; they are planning to drop one or two depending on how they like it.

Also, you can self-study for AP tests… so if you still want some of that good ole AP credit without the course taking up space in your schedule…
