Hey...I'm currently a junior, took 3 AP classes this year (Biology, U.S. History, English Language). My academic stats are pretty strong and my EC's are decent. I know my recs will be really strong and my essay should be pretty good too. I'm interested in UPenn, Yale, Columbia, Georgetown, Tufts, NYU, and maybe a few others. Anyway, what I'm concerned about is my senior year schedule. Right now, I'm signed up for 4 AP classes (European History, BC Calc, English Literature, Spanish) and 1 Honors class (Physics). I also have mandatory gym and I'm signed up for the concert band. However, I have an 8th slot open and I opted for lunch instead of another AP class. I did this primarily because my sister said she only got 3-4 hours of sleep per night senior year with 4 AP's and 1 Honors. I figured a 5th AP class would just about kill me. In any case, will any of my prospective colleges look down upon the fact that I didn't take THE most difficult course schedule possible? Thanks very much for any input.

I think most colleges expect u to take lunch if your school doesn't have a designated lunch period... My school doesn't even offer classes during lunch period.
