Remember, not every high school offers all of these courses, so I would recommend that you check with your guidance counselor to see which of these courses your school offers. Additionally, make sure you consider your interests and future plans when selecting your courses. As I usually suggest, while taking AP courses does demonstrate academic rigor, it's more important to focus on the depth of your understanding and mastery of a subject rather than simply racking up a large number of AP classes.
