Hi! I talked to my guidance counselor today and we discussed my high school future. We made out my schedule up until junior year. I am currently a freshman. Any feedback is appreciated! We don’t have honors except for math. We don’t have AP Chem or AP Bio. I’m taking every AP we offer except for the CS.
Freshman Year (Current):
English 9
Spanish 2
Algebra 2 Advanced
Environmental Science
Theatre Arts and Health Education
Biology 1
Summer between 9th and 10th:
Pre-Calculus/Trigonometry
Sophomore year:
World Literature
AP Calculus AB
Chemistry
Physics
Spanish 3
Economics
Summer between 10th and 11th:
Dual credit English
Junior year:
AP United States History
AP English Language and Composition
AP Calculus BC
Spanish 4
AP Biology
AP Government
One semester of Dual Credit Psych, one semester of Dual Credit English
(Outside of school) Independent study of AP Environmental Science, I have permission to do this for 2 credits as long as I score a 3+ on the exam.
We’re geared for me to either spend all of senior year taking college classes or just graduating early. I already have fine arts and PE credits. Any feedback is welcome, as I said previously!
Oh, I forgot to mention. Econ in sophomore year is only a semester, and the second semester of that is an SAT prep course.
What are your high school history requirements for graduation? I’m just seeing one year of US History and no world history. For our schools government and economics are just electives and a modern world history is a requirement but I don’t know what your school requires.
Many states require gov/econ for a diploma.
Anyway, back to the OP, personally, I don’t see the value in taking classes every summer. Few colleges are interested in academic drones, and doing something different over the summer can help prevent burnout during the academic year. Since this is at least your third thread that is a variation of seeking validation to race through the HS curriculum, I’m not sure what more you want people to say.
You need to refine your junior year schedule. Going from one AP to 6 APs is crazy. Don’t just take APs for your high school transcript. What do you even want to major in college?
Have you considered self-studying any APs sophomore year?
I thought you said you didn’t have AP Bio but it’s listed in your junior year schedule? Are you planning to self-study? If not, you might want to drop that, because I agree, 6 APs is very intense, but you can always amend your junior schedule a bit if sophomore year turns out to be challenging. Sophomore year looks great, as long as your summer Precalc covers a sufficient amount of material (I took summer precalc as well, and it would NOT have prepared me for calculus. It prepared me well for honors precalculus. If your summer precalc prepares you well, go ahead. No reason to take precalculus twice.)
