Hello, fellow rising senior here! Im taking 4 APs too (Lit, Euro, Stats, Macro). Kinda worried as well since i only took 2 my junior year, but i think if we manage our time, we’ll do fine.

GET ALL YOUR ESSAYS DONE BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS. ALL OF THEM-- YOUR COMMON APP AND ALL YOUR SUPPLEMENTAL ESSAYS. My teachers nailed this into our brains and honestly its soo much easier to start writing rough drafts of my essays during summer because i know i dont have to stress about them yet. I have 3 drafts of the common app essays done already, and one supplemental essay. If you get everything done before school even starts, you can jump right in to getting teachers/peers to read+edit them, and you wont have to stress about writing an essay on top of all your other homework assignments. Itll take a huge load off your shoulders!

Kids who wait until the last minute to write their essays have breakdowns–ive witnessed them. Dont be that kid! Youll thank yourself later when its november and some of your friends havent even started their essays yet, and you finished all of yours in august.

Best of luck!
