The student who takes all the AP/honors classes and receives high grades but participates in no extracurricular activities? Or the student who takes a few AP/honors classes, does community service, joins sports, and is involved in clubs? This year I'm taking one AP class and three honor classes. I'm doing well but I find it's rather difficult to balance time for homework and practice. [I run cross country and track.] School and sports are both important to me but I'm not sure whether I should continue taking every possible AP/honor classes in the future. I want to but regarding time, I think it'll be physically impossible. I've joined four clubs at school. I do a lot of community service and I plan to apply for NHS in the future. Should I stick with the AP classes and drop the extracurricular activities to make time? Or should I continue at this rate with the AP classes and activites? Is it better to be really smart or well-rounded?
