i am currently in 2 APs (us history and environmental), but my school’s max is 3. instead of taking ap bio i took physics (which i think is fairly easy but i know people that got Bs). i don’t know how much easier it is than ap bio, but i still think it looks bad that im taking a regular course over an AP course. i know wustl considers course rigor, and i have been extremely worried lately that i do not have the most rigorous schedule a junior could have. i am also in 2 honors courses, by the way.

should i be so stressed out about this?

i really want to prove to WUSTL that i can thrive and do well at their school, because i really feel that i can, but i feel that my current transcript does not reflect this well. i am hoping i can make up for this with my senior year course load as i am taking the max amount of aps (which includes ap bio). i am also planning on taking a statistics course and hopefully a course in the social sciences at a community college over summer. is senior year’s rigor as important as other years?
