“I had a B+/A- average in English, but my other classes are pretty much out of the question as far as honors classes go. I ended Biology with a B- and I ended geometry with a C+”

Pulling up your grades is more important than taking AP classes. I don’t think that you should take any AP class unless it is in a subject where you have been able to get A’s. Expect to work a lot more in AP classes than you needed to work for other classes.

One daughter took AP music theory and liked it quite a bit. The content was essentially “music”, so doing well in it is somewhat unrelated to doing well in math or biology, other than the fact that all of the above required a lot of work (including a lot of practice for music theory).
