Am I making a mistake in choosing my schedule?

<p>Hello, I'm an upcoming highschool senior, and I've decided on my schedule for my senior year.</p>

<p>AP Chemistry
AP Biology
AP French
AP English Literature and Compo.
AP Calc AB
AP American Gov (1st sem)/ AP Macro (2nd sem)
AP Comp. Gov (one sem)/ Free Period (one sem)</p>

<p>Now, am I making a huge mistake and just overloading myself with so many Ap classes? I know for sure that AP Lit won't be an issue, as won't Macro and Calc. But i'm worried about the rest, especially Chem, Bio, French, and the Gov classes. I'm a smart, hardworking student, but I don't want to push myself over the limit. That said, I do plan on doing self-study during the summer before I enter Sr. year, so I can get a head start on my classes and ease my burden, and I've given myself a free period for one semester. I've taken 4 AP's sophmore year, and i found it very manageable, but am I just being cocky in thinking I can handle this many? Advice would be great.</p>

<p>Its one half taking a rigorous course load and its another half taking a course load you’ll like.</p>

<p>At my School the teachers make the AP courses nearly impossible to take more than 3. </p>

<p>(this is because of low performance, nevertheless…)</p>

<p>What does your counselor say? </p>

<p>Also, Take the AP courses you’ll like. this year i took a third year of gym over AP world. regret it? </p>

<p>No. because i know there’s atleast one period out of my day that i can just chill, play ball and not worry about grades and homework. </p>

<p>Well, that sounds like a lot to me, but my school only offers 5 AP classes total, so I was raised to think differently. </p>

<p>I’m in AP Lit and AP Calc right now, and they’re really no big deal. My AP Lit teacher is a bit vain and thinks it’s our only class, so he overloads us with homework, but I still have so much time to do other stuff. My AP Calc teacher skips on us a lot and so we’re behind, but the content is easy enough, although I have no idea what I’m to expect on the exam. </p>

<p>If you’ve managed 4 AP classes already, you should be fine. You know your limits better than anyone, and if you’re the kind of person to learn things over the summer, then I think you’ll be just fine with AP classes and with college. :)</p>

<p>@Div301 thanks, and that’s the thing - I love all of these courses, and am eager to learn each of them (Christ I need a social life). </p>

<p>@ harvestmoon Thanks, I guess I just needed some encouragement :slight_smile: Good luck with your courses.</p>
