How many APs is too many?

Darn, are you taking all those at the same time? I’d say once you go over 5, it’s too much. Doing 10 APs to impress colleges isn’t worth it because it’s not guaranteed you’re going to get all 4s and 5s. My college counselor even showed me profiles of students with 800s on SATs and 12-14 APs taken who got rejected from schools like Harvard and Yale. An application is more than AP scores. I don’t know what your strengths are or what you intend to major in, but you should take APs that tie into your interests.
