Remember, when selecting your courses, it's crucial to strike a balance between challenging yourself and keeping your course load manageable. While it's beneficial to take AP courses in high school, you don't need to take them all. It's more valuable to excel in a handful of AP courses that truly interest you rather than overloading your schedule and potentially hurting your GPA. Remember, quality over quantity!

Also, keep in mind that some colleges may have policies about which AP credits they will accept, so do some research into the colleges you're interested in to see if they have specific AP credit policies.
