I’d suggest a decent balance. Don’t just sign up for the hardest classes possible. Many people on this site screw themselves this way. My school sends 25% of its students to Ivies, and nobody takes the hardest course load possible. Top kids always drop down to regular history and/or regular foreign language to save their grades(and sanity, and health). You want a challenge, but you don’t want to end up stacking the deck against yourself before the game even starts.
