What is a typical AP and Honors Course load for students applying to highly competitive schools? (1)

Admissions Advice

I am wondering what the typical AP and Honors class course load looks like for students applying to say, a top 50 school. I project I'll have completed six AP courses, 1 college level math course (as I'll take the Calculus AP in 11th grade and 2nd year college level math my senior year) and an additional eight honors classes. Among my core classes, only English is not AP/honors. Yet the chancing profile tells me I am consistently in the lowest quartile in terms of difficulty of coursework for all the schools I'm interested in -- and these aren't even the Ivys or Ivy equivalents. Is it true that most students aiming for "very prestigious" or higher schools are taking many more than 6 APs and 8 honors classes? I didn't even think most high schools offered that many.
