How many AP classes should I take for college apps without completely burning out? I keep searching how many AP classes should I take and every answer is basically “it depends,” which is not helping.
Right now I am thinking 3 or 4 APs next year, but some people at my school are taking 6+ and acting like that is normal. I do well in harder classes, but I also have activities and I do not want my grades to dip just because I overloaded myself.
If you already applied, what ended up being the right number for you? Is it better to take fewer APs and get mostly As, or push for the max my school offers even if it is kind of miserable?
