Is taking 5 AP courses in my senior year ridiculous?

Question

I'm planning to take:

AP Biology

AP Chemistry

AP BC Calculus

AP Latin

and am considering taking AP English instead of Honors Humanities. (Our school allows us to take 7 classes; I'm taking a music course in addition, so that would be 6 and I would have a study hall left)

Answer 1

Yes. Unless you want college credit, senior grades don't really matter. I would say no if it was a sophmore of junior, but your a senior and should be having fun instead of spending the end of your year worying about too many things.

Answer 2

no it is not ridiculous. at my school, the compettion is harsh. since 10th graders are allowed to take 2 aps. many take two and take 6 or 7 in Ap in junior and senior years.  and it wont be bad. if you take at least 16 ap classes and get all As that would only put you in the top 5 % not valvectorian. My public school is really competitive

Answer 3

um it's not ridiculous

my friend takes 6 AP and 1 study hall thts it

and had A+ in all classes ended up w/ gpa of 3.69 weighted

they survived and i've some friends who are gonna be doing tht next year
