12th grade course selection help

Applying to College
1

<p>My basic situation is what to take senior year, Regular US History or AP US History. I want to go into the science field of premed. Most people have been tellin me that colleges dont really care about the class if ur not interested in it as a major. Here is my schedule since 9th grade.</p>

<p>9th: All Honors
10th: All Honors
11th: All Honors, AP Chem
12th: All AP classes, Honors Spanish</p>

<p>I was wondering, will colleges think i slacked off senior year if i take a regular history. I am 90% sure i will lose by 4.0 gpa and my validictorianship if I get a B in AP US. </p>

<p>What do u guys think I should do. </p>

<p>Here are all my Aps:</p>

<p>Ap Chem, Bio, Calc AB, English,</p>

<p>Take regular, if you think you'll lose your valedictorianship, as long as you have a rigorous courseload colleges won't think you're slacking off. I suppose it also depends on where you plan to apply to....I don't have any experience w/ ivies so I don't know how relevant my advice will be to you.</p>

<p>What is your school's requirement to check the "most rigorous" box in the counselor recommendation? At my kids' school is is something like 6 AP classes - we don't have honors. If you already have that box checked then the APUSH class doesn't matter and the decision is easy - don't take it.</p>
