I am signed up for taking
Ap Gov/Ap Macroeconomics
Ap Statistics
Ap Enviormental Science
Ap Computer Science
Ap Lit
Ap Psychology
Web design
I currently have all As with a unweighted 4.0 and weighted 4.39
However I feel that I am stretching my self too much and I am wondering if it is doable to take these classes and get all As and if it is worth taking these much ap classes even though I might get a B
I would drop one from AP CS, AP psychology, or APES.
AP macro is a semester long course, as is AP gov, so they count as one, not two.
I think the rest should be doable.
Have you already taken Physics and 3, if not 4 years of a language? I don’t see those above and many competitive schools like to see them. In general that many AP’s is hard. Don’t forget about college applications, essays, etc. What would be your reasoning for taking 7? If you have already taken 5-6 AP courses this year and understand the effort involved, then imo you could handle it as some of these AP’s are easier, at least at our school. However if you aren’t interested in these and are only taking them to get the A, then I wouldn’t do it. I would take less and add AP Physics and another year of language if the schools you are interested in recommend it.
I have taken 3 years of language and my reasoning for taking them was that lots of ap classes would look good on my transcript. I might have to add Ap physics although I heard that the ap physics teacher in our school can’t teach the content at all
I’m a senior right now and I’m taking 7 AP courses, it is quite overwhelming I’d say. If you seriously want to pass the AP tests, don’t take more than 5, I’ve let senioritis get the best of me and I’ve given up on 2 AP courses, didn’t bother signing up for the tests and barely passing them with a B. The fact is, after Christmas of senior year, your high school is basically over, unless u get your offer rescinded, school really don’t matter any more, the drive for studying is just not there anymore.
Colleges like to see a rigorous schedule as compared to others in your high school. You can check with your guidance counselor if you have any concerns on what they would mark. Also you can do some research on college data .com for various colleges and see how many years of a language and science they recommend. I would confirm it with the specific colleges, many have it on their websites.
