Junior Year Course Load - Enough for NU?

Three APs and a high level language class looks fine, to me. Is pre-calc a springboard to an AP Calc class?

My Junior year was just two APs - English Lang & Comp, and Psych (partially due to schedule, but frankly partially due to my school only offering so many APs, because it is a small private school.) My school did list all of its other classes as ‘honors’, but it was still the fact of two AP classes. My senior year was 4 APs with no math class, and they seemed to measure it as fine. If you have solid grades and keep up the trend through this year, you will be fine. Performing well on those AP tests doesn’t hurt, either. By only having 3, you can dedicate yourself to studying for them much more readily than with even just one more. Focus on that, and not too much about worrying over your schedule. I don’t think one class will make a difference.
