Too many tough courses Sr year has derailed many so, you are right to tread carefully. AP Calc, in particular is brutally difficult - my son’s HS had 70% of the students fail the class his Sr year so, my advice to most people is to avoid it. In my experience, 5 AP courses is an almost unmanageable load for a 17 year old with all the distractions of Sr year, Add scouts and a job… i think you might be setting him up for failure. How about 2 APs and 3 regular classes? Sr course rigor won’t make up for below average stats.

What are his current gpa and target campuses?
