[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is really just burning the candle on both ends this year and the extracurricular are taking a ton of time and the kid needs more sleep. This kid also really doesn't have a great Spanish base so AP Spanish would be very hard

So this courseload might not be good due to the lack of a 7th AP class? There are no other options for the Spanish as AP Spanish is the next one so it is 7AP classes, 6 AP and 1 filler, or just 6 - the following 6 classes.

Multivariable
AP stat
AP Comp Sci A
AP Physics C
AP Lit 
AP Gov

Tbh, 3-4 of these are easy: many kids take some of these in 11th or earlier, still max out senior year on rigor, and find time to sleep 8hrs, plus a big EC with 20 hr/wk, other EC 6hrs.... and still are in the top 1-2 of the class with top grades in all course areas, no weak areas. Those kids are the majority of kids at ivy/T10. Even top-rigor high schools are not that hard for them. 
If your kid is burnt out then they should do what works for them, there will be plenty of colleges that accept them. Just know that it will narrow the odds at the top schools simply due to the fact that at least a few others in his school likely do it all without burnout. Just facts. The competition is fierce.
