I decided not to go the AP route, and I'm glad I did. I got lazy my senior year (social butterfly), and I wouldn't have graduated with honors. I got into some colleges that some of my friends who went the AP route did not (due to the higher GPA combined with SAT/ACT scores). But I also only went to school for half a day that year. I imagine if I went a full day, I would at least like SOME challenge (especially when it might have helped me with my study habits, or lack there of)...
Just a thought from the other side of the coin.
