This is why i avoided Ap classes at all cost. Never listen to your councilors or teachers who say you should take them. All they are is more reading and answering questions that have nothing to do with your future. Now granted it may give you the ability to focus better and better study habits. Im sorry but if you need to take an AP class just to teach yourself disapline you suck; and have no will power, and are generally lazy and unmotivated.
Also if your so worried about your ranking in a school based on your GPA i feel sorry for you. Why? Because in the real world no one gives a flying fuck what your high school GPA was. Go ahead put it on a resume (anyone know how to get the ' over the e?) your boss will not care that you had a 4.1 or some BS.
Its a bunch of extra work to get into college which you dont really need. I have friends that busted there ass in high school took all the AP classes they could. Then i had friends who just went through school like a normal person. They were accepted to the same school and the one who went through normal is still in school. While the one who busted his ass burnt out and ended up going to arizona on vacation (during the school year) havnt seen him since.
Frankly i think peoples priorities are a bit screwed up. Relax, get the stick out of your ass, and realize that the first 1/8th of your life does not dertermine the remainder.
P.s. I didnt take AP english for this reason: As stated to my councilor:

She was a little ticked, mostly because of the sarcastic tone i had taken at that point.
