4.4 end of Junior year and need "most rigorous" curriculum.

How many APs is "most rigorous"?

the maximum across all subjects that your school offers. don't double up into one area of study. (im guessing a TJ - 11-13?)

8 should be fine.

Is this common at TJ?
My DS is in a similar situation, and I’m wondering whether he has a better chance at other Top 20 schools...

It's almost a running joke at TJ the number of kids that get into top 20 but get waitlisted or rejected from UVA

If UVA was the goal from the beginning, TJ was a bad move. Much better off taking highest rigor at your zoned school.
