The upper bound of what OP mentioned was 18 APs, which I think is very likely unhealthy for a lot of students. My son took 12 and that was about right for him, although 6 junior year was one too many IMO. Taking 4 APs in the core subjects and maybe adding on an extra science, humanities, OR language (but not all) sounds reasonable to me.
