Well, I think you guys forgot to factor in age. Don’t admissions officers say: Hey, this kid took Statistics in 9th, and Physics B, Comp Sci AB, and calc BC(self-study) as a sophomore, and then took even more as a junior, would be more impressive, than say, someone who just crammed like 12 in junior year? Also, it is easier, since you can spred them out.

BTW( the above is me. How do i stand for MIT?)
Also, I know that ppl are like: "HAHA, I got a 5 on 5 subjects, like
phsychology(sp?)
Chem
Phsyics
Calc AB
Calc BC

But since I never took AB, skipped straight to BC, I won’t have as many!
