Don’t worry, because apart from credits, APs look good in admissions. The more you take the better (only if you plan on getting good marks on them, that is.) 🙂
Taking AP Euro is probably a sound idea because it’s (I think) a general studies core, so it will definitely save you time. See, I took AP U.S. History, which I later found out is just plain electie credit, which I don’t have to spare. So I will graduate with those 6 credits as superfluous. 🙁
Also, you probably won’t be stuck with crummy classes because the beauty of college is that if you choose your field of study *coughEnglishcoughcough* wisely, you will probably have a lot of wiggle room for classes. 😀 I only take stuff I like, and core classes that I know have good teachers.
