Is 6 college classes a terrible idea?

My impression from your post is that you are talking about classes for your senior year of high school.

If this is correct, then you should keep in mind that senior year of high school is stressful. You are going to have an “extra effort” to do which is pretty much the equivalent of another AP class. This extra effort is researching colleges, visiting colleges, deciding where to apply, sending in applications, writing essays, arranging for your LORs and transcripts and test scores to be sent in, waiting for responses, and picking which school to attend. This is a lot of work. When it is over you have a huge emotional relief which does not necessarily match well with the effort to study for many upcoming AP tests.

I would back off a bit on the APs.
