Does having Late Start look bad on your college application?

Applying to College
1

I want to do late start as a senior, but am worried that it would affect my college application.
My goal is to attend UCs or Ivy League Schools (preferably UPENN).

Background: Took 7 Aps and 2 College classes junior year
Senior classes: AP ECON, AP PHYSICS, AP CALC BC, AP RESEARCH, AP PSYCH, late start
i would be taking dual enrollment English 7th period instead and also be taking other college classes.
(6 class block schedule)

Please Advise!!

Now it’d be totally fine for you to take a late start with such a heavy schedule. In fact I’d drop AP research and AP psych, taking dual enrollment Psych along with college English this way you’d have more flexibility in your daily schedule while showing ability to handle college-style classes.
