@LyMyKids2 My son took 5 AP senior year plus anatomy and physiology and it was tough. He was in the Academic Decathlon which also took lot of work, but he put off studying until after the applications. He also did ED for Rice University so he only applied to 6 colleges. He was all done and knew where he was going by December. I do know what you mean he was not having much social life at that point and he did cut back on the boy scouts because of the time crunch. Though by December 20th he knew he was in. He did not play sports other than frisbee in the spring. I am not sure what your extracurricular was but if it was sports I can see it woud be hard with a lot of AP’s He did get 4’s and 5’s on his AP’s and took a total of ten. Though I don’t think Rice even let him use many at all. It was more for the practice of the classes so if you have to take them again they will be easier. Like this year he skipped right to organic chemistry. Yes mental health is important. It is honestly hard to judge anyones chances because so many people apply now a days especially regular decision. Your odds get better with ED. I think Vandy gets quite a bit better.There are so many great schools out there and many schools can be a great fit. I am sure my son would of been happy at many of the schools he applied to. The other 5 schools my son applied to were equally important because he knew the chances of getting in were small.
