They will absolutely look at you in the context of our course load. Is it a waste of time to apply? Well that depends on what else you have to show them. How are your SAT scores? Do you expect to have amazing teacher recommendations? Do you have a passion that will come through in your essays and be corroborated by other aspects of your application?

Why don’t you consider taking less AP’s so you can concentrate on the subjects that interest you the most?
If MIT loves everything else about your application then taking one or two less AP wouldn’t move your application into the reject pile.
