Advice needed

Applying to College
1

<p>I'm going to be a senior next year and here's what my schedule looks like:</p>

<p>AP English
AP Stats
gov./econ. (semester each)
Physics
Spanish 3
Concert Choir
Jazz Singers</p>

<p>My question is: Should I take AP gov./econ. or regular? I realize I will already have a pretty high workload without taking AP, but I've heard it is pretty easy compared to other APs (at least Gov.) and in a way I figure I might as well take it because I only took 2 APs junior year, and the more the better. Plus, I will be applying to some selective colleges like USC, WashU... Gov. and Econ. have nothing to do with what I'm interested in pursuing, however--Occupational Therapy, which is obviously a science based field--so my other perspective is that I shouldn't overwhelm myself with an AP that won't really benefit my future goals. (btw, I have already taken AP Bio)</p>

<p>Some info about the AP gov. and AP econ. classes would be nice, along with some advice regarding my situation. Thanks!</p>

<p>It really depends on what EC’s you do and sports/instruments.
Also, what type of grades youre getting so far =P</p>

<p>I’d say… if you like AP English, it isn’t really hard. AP Statistics is really easy actually. Easier than Calc AB, at least at my school. Physics itself is a decently hard class, but challenge yourself with AP physics =P. Really depends on what youre into. Spanish 3 is probably a joke.</p>

<p>Always take the hardest classes because colleges care about rigor of courses more than anything else.</p>
