Not Taking All AP's Will Hurt My Chances At Getting Into Caltech/MIT?

Colleges & Universities California Institute of Technology

<p>You guys forget the fact that I have 5 other AP classes. 3 of them should take only 1 hour, and 2 of them and APUSH should take about 2-3 hours each. So that’s about 9~12 hours of work right there… I get out of school at 2, so in theory it’ll take me to around 12 to finish all my work, assuming a relative amount of homework is assigned for each class… And this is to get straight A’s and A+'s in those classes of course.</p>

<p>My other option, instead of drowning myself in these wonderful AP’s, is to embark on a research internship. I’m already working in a lab right now under a professor at UCSF, and I’m working towards a research paper. Obviously this takes a lot of my time and it’d be frivolous to even consider taking 6 AP’s while taking a job at a lab afterschool. </p>

<p>And yeah, I made a typo. It’s actually 2370… :confused:
