2018-2019 Course scheduling

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

Next year, I’ll be a sophomore (10th grade) My schedule so far is:

  Precalc Honors
  Human Body Systems Honors
  Genetics Honors
  AP Bio
  AP World
  English Composition (Dual enrollment)

I need two more electives and I also want one to be AP. I’ve already taken AP HG and AP Psych freshman year. I’m debating whether I should take AP Gov or AP Micro

2

Foreign language should be one.

3

don’t skip foreign language

4

You need a foreign language (honors if possible, AP if you have the pre-reqs) and why not take an art class?

5

I’ve already taken my language requirements and my school doesn’t offer any AP language classes

6

You may run into a problem taking dual enrollment english as most colleges want to see four years of english. Do you plan on taking more english classes throughout high school? How many years of foreign language will you have on your transcript?

7

I’m assuming you double checked that just one year of foreign language is enough for high school graduation - it would not be here and you would be told to take another language if needed because we require two years of the same language at minimum.

For ELA same thing - if your doing dual enrollment in 10th grade what are your plans for 11th and 12th grade ELA? This was told to me/my daughter by tons of colleges before she chose dual enrollment but she started in 11th grade. They also want to see math in 12th grade (which your probably planning) even if you complete high school requirements before that.

College admissions may want more than high school graduation requires so perhaps call a few different admissions offices and double check that 1 year of FL is enough if you completed it in just 1 year of high school. They may not consider language before 9th grade which can vary from college to college. They are usually really friendly and don’t mind talking to younger high school students.

8

I’m taking all my language courses online because our school doesn’t offer French. After taking dual enrollment English, I plan on taking AP Literature/AP Language

9

You’re missing foreign language level 3 (or level 2) . It’s a core class and more important than a random AP.
In addition, you’re tripling up with biology classes. You should double up with chemistry honors if you really want two sciences (or physics honors if you’ve already taken chemistry). You should make sure you have one each of bio, chem , physics.
