Any advice for these classes?

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>This is my junior year schedule and I'm a little nervous, especially because I made a b in honors chemistry last year and I HAVE to make an A this year in AP. I am on semester schedule btw so not all of my classes are yearlong. So if you have any advice for these classes please share! Also, do you think this is manageable? I have 3 varsity sports, 8 clubs..blah blah blah. And do you think this is a good schedule or pretty average? I'm not applying to these crazy hard schools like most of you guys, I'm most likely going wherever I get a track scholarship haha so don't judge too harshly. However, I am applying to UNC chap and duke because in from nc and want to stay close.
Thanks!</p>

<p>First semester:
AP Biology ( online, so should be easier than in class.)
AP chemistry
Honors pre calculus
Honors Spanish 3</p>

<p>Second semester:
AP biology (taken after school)
AP chemistry
AP US history
AP go government and politics
AP English language</p>

<p>if bio is online then you should be set considering the memorization heavy curriculum. US history really depends on your school and same with gov. Those two classes are usually easy but like I said depends on the school.</p>

<p>AP chem and AP english are usually the harder ones.</p>

<p>AP Biology curriculum was changed last year. It’s now more application based. 6% 5’s this year. It’s a whole other ballgame now.</p>

<p>Why the 8 clubs? They matter more and seem better if you hold leadership positions and if you focus on just two or three. It’ll be less on your plate especially with 3 VS and more meaningful in essays + to college (interviews especially) if you can describe what you got out of these clubs.</p>

<p>They were all ones I’ve been interested in and I have leadership in 4 possibly 5 of them…is it okay of I’m not an officer in all of them? I’ve been in all of them since freshman year so its not like I’m trying to spruce up my application.</p>
