[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At our school it’s probably 11-12 APs total.

The “most rigorous” schedules include:

Math: 11th - Calc BC (junior year); and 12th either MV / Linear (for STEM applicants) or AP Stats (for non-STEM)

English: 11th - AP Lang (junior) and 12th - AP Lit

Science: 10th - AP Physics; 11th - AP Bio or AP Chem (both for STEM); 12th - Physics C

History: 10th - AP World; 11th - APUSH; 12th - AP Euro and/AP Gov

Foreign Lang: 12th AP Lang[/quote]

The most rigorous kids start APs in 9th grade.  It’s not uncommon for kids to do 2 in 9th grade (ex: AP Computer science principles and APUSH or even AP Calc AB.)  I’ve seen several high school kids with 17 APs+[/quote]
That's not the case at most high schools.

More importantly, just because one kid has 17 APs (most of which are less rigorous beyond 6-8) at a high school doesn't mean another kid at the same high school with only 10 APs is out of the running for top schools. College admission is not a race for the most APs in spite of the counselor form checkboxes.[/quote]
