how many AP tests should i take in order to apply for an ivy leage school?

Im currently a freshman, and I wonder how many AP courses and tests should I take if I'd like to apply for an ivy leage school? I know I should take as many as I can, but the problem is that my school offers 19 AP courses, and Im not gotta take 5 of them for sure (language and 2 useless courses according to my preference of major). Additionally, I came from china last year, so it would be super hard for me to earn an A in AP english. Im thinking about not to take AP eng. at all, but does it actually look better when I have an A for college prep english class instead of a B in AP eng.?

Anyway here's my plan for next 3 yrs:
10th grade: AP biology & AP computer science (already the maximum amt)
11th grade: AP calculus AB, AP USH, AP physics B or C
12th grade: AP statistics, AP comparative govt & politics in 1st semester & AP U.S. govt & politics in 2nd, AP chemistry, AP japanese, AP art history (if i dont make yearbook or my school newspaper or anything like that)

So the total would be 10 or 11 out of 15 (not including the language classes that i wont be able to take), I'm not sure if it's enough since my school has 19 AP courses. Im interested in economics and phychology, so Im planning to take AP test for macroeconomics & microeconomics next year, and psychology in junior year. Would you suggest me to study by myself or find a tutor or sign up for the class somewhere? Do you think that it's the best way to make my app stronger? I wanna do this simply bacause I wont have credit for AP english.

Besides, if you have any suggestion for my choice of world language, I would seriously think abt it. Im gotta take SAT for Chinese this year to fulfill my high school's language requirement, and I'll do Japanese probably (or spanish). Does it matter that I didnt take any language class in 1st yr? I heard that ivy leage school ask you for the credit of language for 4 yrs. I hope that a high score for SAT Chinese would be useful.

Thanks for your help. I wrote a lot because I have no idea abt those stuff. Thank you for reading it again.

Two different majors to pick?

So... I know for sure I want to do Computer Science.... but I seriously would like to pair it with a Humanities type of minor....
Although I would like to come out of college with a good-paying job... in the long run, money isn't THAT important with me. Or... I at least don't plan to become rich one day. Just to have a job loving what I do. Which is why I'm considering to take a humanities type of minor... but the question is, will I still be able to even get a job with a minor like that?

These are the minors I'm considering.

Minors that would go well with CS:
Business
Mathematics
Accounting
Finance
Engineering (Computer, Mechanical, Civil, Environmental, etc.)

Minors that doesn't entirely relate with CS:
Art (Illustration, Drawing, Animation/Graphics)
Art History
Studio Arts
Japanese
French
German
Philosophy
Visual Communications
Animal Science/Zoology
Humanities - General

Which would be a better choice? To choose a minor directly related with CS to show I'm more concentrated with the field of material or to choose a minor that's not really related but can show that I'm a more well-rounded person? Thoughts?
@PE2008: Oh, wow. Yeah, I knew that. xD
I forgot to specify that if I would've picked Engineering then I would have minored in CS. That's my fault.

Want to major in Japanese but need advice?

I am currently enrolled in a community college and have one more class to take this fall before I can graduate with an Associates Degree in Liberal Arts & Sciences.

I have been trying to figure out what I want to do and have recently researched the Japanese major. It sounds like something I would really be interested in because I would be learning Japanese history as well as the Japanese language.

Now, that being said I don't want to have to go through other courses, specifically mathematics. I just want to go straight into Japanese courses. This means I would probably want to find a school that doesn't require the SAT or ACT tests to be accepted. Is this possible?

Also, any recommendations for schools would be great. I am in the United States and can go to any 50 states including Hawaii. I would like a school that provides the ability for students to go to Japan to study for at least a few months.

Also, my third question, about how long (years) on average does it take to complete the Japanese major? (As in, become officially fluent and recognized as a translator, if that's what I decide I want to be).

Thank you in advance!
Thank you for the answers so far! I would like to add that I may want to pair the Japanese major with a minor in creative writing or something art related.

Who are some modern-day artists that are helping bring country music back to its roots?

I think we can all agree that the majority of stuff they play on the radio today isn't country. There are a few artists that are bringing back true country music(and of course, they aren't as famous as the little pop-bubble gum "let's add a banjo and say we're country" people like Carrie Underwood, Jason Aldean, etc.)

The ones I think could really bring it back are Brantley Gilbert, Jamey Johnson, Randy Houser. Who are some others?

18 units at community college?!?

Hello! I will be starting commuinty college in one week and I signed up for 6 classes! Now I am starting to worry if that is too much to handle! I have taken a college course this summer and luckily got an A! The classes I am taking are

Intro to sociology
Philosophy of Ethics
Intro to US gov
English
Art History
History of African Americans

I was doing research for each of my classes/ teachers on ratemyprofessor.com and I found out that at least 3 of my classes are pretty easy! the only class I really am worrying about it my philosophy of ethics class, in which many people said you have to work really hard for an A. Since I'm going to community college, I will be staying at home and probably wont have a huge social life ( which I am totally ok with ), so I know that my time managment skills are going to be ok. As a student in high school, I have always completed my work on time and never slacked off! Personally, and from experience, what do you think about taking 6 classes?
Thank you so much!
