GPA

My school also offers an insane number of AP/honors courses though. Something like 47. A lot.
 
Don't over think this. Obviously AP, Honors science and math classes, high GPA and top class rank help your competitiveness; BUT there are many other factors that are considered when Admissions decides who they are going offer an appointment (leadership, outside activities, community service, athletics, SAT/ACT scores, competitiveness of candidate's high school, counselor and teacher evaluations, etc., etc.). In the past there have been extremely bright, academic rock stars who have not been selected for appointments since they were too one dimensional.
Remember, it's called a Whole Person Score for a reason.
 
Phew, as a HS Junior, I have had only 1 AP and several Honors classes in my first 2 years but Im currently taking a full IB load with NJROTC. My time constraints prohibit much as Im involved with BS, NJROTC ( STAFF and rifle team ) and working a job. SAT was 2110, have not taken ACT yet. Hopefully they do take everything into consideration, as bubalma stated, or else I wont have a shot at appointment never mind a NOM.
