Honestly, it's such a tough balance! I was in the same boat last year. My school has a ton of AP options, and I wasn’t sure if I should just go for it and take as many as I could or focus on a few and do well.
After talking to a few advisors and upperclassmen, I decided to go with 4 AP classes. It felt like a manageable number where I could stay on top of my grades and still have time for my extracurriculars. I think quality over quantity really does apply here!
Has anyone else found that taking too many APs actually hurt their overall GPA? Would love to hear other stories!
