AP Classes Advice?

Top universities like Notre Dameor WashU don’t expect more the 6-8 APs total. If you got A’s in important AP’s, extra AP’s aren’t going to change their perception that you can do the work. Same thing for CC classes, which in addition should be chosen carefully (either core classes or classes you couldn’t take in HS.)

Are the CC classes yearlong college classes taught in HS? Or are they regular, semester-long college classes taught on a college campus with college students, meaning you’d take Spanish IV one semester and American lit another semester?

My advice would be for you to take APUSH, Calc AB, AP Bio, and one college class per semester, nothing more than that is needed or expected.

Also, at your age, you need to schedule 8-9hours of sleep a night or you risk damaging your brain. You also need to have EC’s and keep downtime/socializing time, because colleges don’t want “AP robots”, they want smart, healthy kids who have balanced schedules.
