Just remember that even though a wide range of AP classes exists, you don't necessarily need to take a ton of them to impress colleges. Colleges are more interested in seeing that students take rigorous classes in areas that correlate with their intended major or interests, so concentrating on the AP courses that align with your passion or intended college major may be a stronger strategy. Quality over quantity!
