I’ve heard from some friends of mine that taking too many AP tests (say, 12+) actually negatively impacts your chances of getting into prestigious colleges. Apparently, colleges think that taking lots of AP tests means that you’re just trying to impress them, and will hurt more than help your chances.

Any opinions? Or by approximately what # would it be bad (I’m planning on at least 12 total by end of junior year)
