I would recommend thinking about your academic and career interests when selecting AP courses. For instance, if you're interested in STEM, look at options like AP Chemistry or AP Calculus. If the humanities are more your cup of tea, then something like AP World History or AP English Literature could be appropriate. Remember, it's not just about taking as many AP classes as possible, but rather selecting the ones that align with your interests and academic goals!
