<p>If both honors and AP are weighted equally (ridiculous considering the margin of difficulty between the two at my school) would a college prefer to see you make A's in honors classes which in turn would mantain/improve my rank, or would they rather see you do numerous AP's and get scattered A's and B's. I am interested in UVa, Vanderbilt, W&L, W&M, and Penn.</p>
<p>PS if its worth the effort, here are the 2 schedules I'm considering for my junior year (I'm currently a sophomore).</p>
<p>1
FB
Psych AP/Sociology
US History AP
English III AP
Statistics AP
Chem AP
Pre-Cal Honors</p>
<p>2
FB
Psych AP/Sociology
US History Honors
English III AP
Street Law
Physics Honors
Pre-Cal Honors</p>
<p>3
A suggested combination of any of the above</p>
<p>They would rather see you take more APs, but only take as much as you think you can handle.. I definitely made the mistake of taking too many APs and got a lot of Bs, which demolished by unweighted GPA. Colleges consider your unweighted as much as your weighted so choose carefully.</p>
<p>I don't know how rigorous your AP classes are, but I would not do schedule 2 (try doing at least 3 APs in your junior year).</p>
<p>I suggest doing</p>
<p>AP psych/sociology
AP US History (if your school really tough on this subject, just take the honors. But many juniors take APUSH)
Precalc Honors
AP English
Honors Physics (if you think you can handle AP Chem, take that instead)</p>
<p>I don't know what FB is, so I can't say anything about that. The street-law course sounds like a blow off course. If it is, don't take it. Colleges like solid academic classes.</p>
<p>If you must take Honors Physics as a graduation requirement (we have to), then you should take that as a junior. Also, I had heard that AP Statistics involves some calculus, so it may be better to take that with a calculus class next year. </p>
<p>Only do the "street law" course if you're planning to do a career that would involve street law. Otherwise, I agree with GPAx213- it does sound like a blow off course. APUSH is a good class to take your junior year, especially in conjunction with the AP English class (which focuses a lot on American literature). Good luck!</p>
