You think college at an ivy would be more rigorous than 11 APs and 8 AICE classes over 3 years of high school?

That is a lot of APs.

This is hard to say and might depend upon which Ivy, and possibly which major. I will admit that I do not know what AICE is and I am not from Florida (nor from anywhere even remotely close to Florida).

This is along with 3-4 hours a day of practicing for my sport.

Wouldn’t this still be true if you continue your sport in university?

One daughter very briefly did varsity crew in university, but gave it up as it was just too much along with academics (she wisely decided to focus on academics and having a life).

tomgrace:

I would have thought the rigor for an ivy would be around the same or maybe even easier,

I think that MIT and Stanford were more rigorous than the vast majority of high schools. When I knew people at Cornell it did not seem all that different compared to MIT.

This might be a question for the coaches. They for example might know how common it is for a student to give up their sport to focus on academics.

Regardless I think that you should also be looking at colleges or universities where admissions is way more likely.
