How Many AP's Are Too Many?

@Anish14 Yes, I am. Based on what I see going on here, I wouldn’t say that doing that many APs is strange - although I personally wouldn’t advise it. But some people can handle it.

At my school, the deal is that most students are expected/forced to take at 5-7 AP courses during junior year. If you defy the school by not doing so, you have to rack up on APs for senior year

Actually, I know a couple of students who ONLY took AP classes for both junior and senior year. i.e. 7 AP courses a year for 2 years, in addition to the 2-3 they took for freshman+sophomore year. But they have no ECs, so that’s the trade off for them.

edit Anyways, that was just the suggestion for if OP actually was insistent on doing 16 AP courses. But most likely she won’t be taking all 16 - ex. she probably won’t take all foreign language AP courses, probably won’t take AP studio art (if she’s not in art) or AP music theory (if she’s not in band/orchestra), etc. But of course I don’t know what AP courses are offered at her school
