For current/past students, what was your personal experience like, and what other responsibilities did you have alongside AP Physics? I'm really curious and just want more information.

Next year, I'm also considering adding AP Econ to my schedule, which would put me at 6 AP classes (incl. Calc BC, Stats, Seminar, and CSA) + means I'd be taking 7 AP Exams as a senior.
I know that might sound really crazy and that the obvious answer would be to absolutely not do this to myself (esp. senior year), but I'm taking 6 APs this year and feel pretty chill about it. I'm really worried about getting into uni + getting scholarships, so that's why I'm considering putting myself through the wringer like this.

Most significantly, I've had regrets every year about not pushing myself enough because I just don't believe in myself, so I tried to do harder things this year, but I still don't feel like it's enough. One of my classes this year is AP Chem, which everyone I know said was difficult, but I think it's fine, so I want more information to gauge whether I just shouldn't be freaking out about taking AP Physics concurrently with all my other classes and just put AP Econ in my schedule.

So basically I take APHUG and AP Chem, which are in the same time slot for the AP Exam, meaning I have to take one of them on the make-up date. However, I have an academic competition on the day of the APHUG make-up date, and so if I want to go to compete, I'd have to take AP Chem on the make-up date. This is kind of scary because allegedly the make-up exams are harder than the normal ones, and so I'd REALLY rather not take a harder test for a hard AP rather than a really easy AP...

Idk if I should even do my competition because my grades come first, so I just wanted to hear from people who've taken make-up AP exams before and whether it feels harder than it should be/heaviern than practice tests. Thanks for your time!!

I'm a junior (11th grade) in high school right now and have done a lot of research on/made a list for potential undergrad schools, but since I'm probably going to apply to a limited number of schools due to application fees, I want to make sure I don't miss any schools that would be really good for my situation; If any Canadians or Canadian international students could give me some insight, it would be much appreciated :)

Title pretty much sums it up, but for some more info:

• I intend to pursue health science/life science/medical science, and then get my MD in the US
• I could use financial aid/scholarships
• Decent(?) grade inflation and preferably public, so I can transfer my AP credits and save some money

Also, if any Canadians could give me any insight about the growing animosity towards international students I've heard about, I'd really appreciate that too + any other relevant info I could be missing

lmk if u have any questions, and thanks for your time!!
