Back in my HS days, early 80s, my high school offered only 1 AP class, and I took it.

I imagine Stanford looks for its applicants to take as many AP classes as they can in their HS (not take an "easy" class instead of a harder one).

So, if your HS offers 3 AP classes, you better take them. If it offers 10, but you can only fit 6 of them in your schedule because of overlapping times, you better take 6 of them.

In my case, I either took AP history or typing, I opted for AP history. As a side note, up to today, I don't know how to type. I'm a two-fingered typer.
