Course selection day is coming up and I am having a hard time deciding which classes to take next year. If I take 5 AP classes, would it be too much of a workload? Also, is taking AP Chem and AP Bio a good decision if I want to go into pre-med? These are the classes I want to take:

AP Calculus AB
AP Biology
AP Chemistry
AP Literature & Composition
AP Psychology
Intro to Latin
Economics/Participation in Government (required for all seniors)

In addition I will be taking a science research class but that is out of school and does not require too much work. I will also be volunteering at a local hospital on the weekends. Please let me know how this schedule looks. Thank you!
