<p>Seriously, I’d recommend dropping a lot of those APs. It’s unneccesary. College admissions don’t only care about APs - they care about your extracurriculars, your hobbies, your interests, etc. I went to a less-than-stellar public school that didn’t offer APs or BCs at all, but I took the most challenging classes the school offered and did well in them. On the surface, apart from high SAT scores, I had an unimpressive resume, but the time I didn’t spend on academics I spent learning guitar, eventually getting a job teaching guitar, working as a crew member for school theater productions, and I spent a lot of time writing, which is a big hobby of mine. Something must’ve clicked with UChicago admissions, 'cause I’m a rising second-year, and I’ve been doing well at school, so clearly admissions weren’t totally out of their mind when they let me in X)</p>
<p>But anyway, the point is that you don’t have to take a trillion APs to get into a top 10 school. College admissions is a funny thing, and is not as straight-forward as you’re making it out to be. They’ll be plenty of time for stress and sleep-deprivation at college, don’t burn yourself out in high school XD</p>
