I am trying to get a 3.5 GPA UW without gen ed electives/gym as a FINAL GPA, which means at least a 3.96 GPA UW in senior year, so which one do you think I should fit into my Junior schedule? (I am planning to take 5 APs in senior year, so I will have to do both Econ and Human Geo eventually
Physics (in the summertime)
Chinese III
AP Lang
AP Psych
Trig/PreCalc
US Hist HN
AP Econ/AP Human Geo
I heard that AP Human Geo is a joke, is it true that colleges don’t count it into your gpa?
@IAmNotCreativ sorry! i meant the classes above are my junior, and for senior I am taking:
AP Chinese
AP Stat
Ap Human Geo/Econ
HN English 12
AP ES
AP Calc BC
HN Govt
At my school, AP World, AP Physics, and APUSH are the hardest ones at school. almost every junior is going to take AP Psych next year, bc its supposed to be one of the easiest. I am taking AP Chinese online because I am chinese, and there is no chinese offered at my school!
BTW, I was just going to take peer helping but instead I am deciding between AP Econ and AP HG because I am looking to raise my gpa, because it is an AP Elective, not gen ed! Not really for college credit
@NavalTradition Well, I had an A in WH HN, but then got a C in AP World, and I am pretty good at literature as well.I am good at basic algebra (not geometrey, even though I ended the class with a high B), good at memorizing and making flash cards (which is why I am taking AP Psych), mediocre at chem HN. I also like business classes, but for some reason I thought intro to marketing was boring, maybe because it was all just busy work.
But like i said, eventually I will have to take both. I just don’t know which I should take first!
@NavalTradition thanks! also, since I heard the course is a joke and colleges don’t even usually give college credit for the course, do you think it will be counted towards my gpa since it is an ap course, and not regular?
It counts for college credit if you major in history or something like that, I believe. I’m a freshman and I’m taking AP Human Geography. So yeah, it is easy and you can definitely manage it. It is strictly a freshman course at my school, so I think it’d be better if you take it first for fundamentals of geography, which may somehow benefit you when you take econ. Good luck!
I took APHG freshman year and I can affirm that class is indeed a joke. I studied only the week before the test and got a 5. Although it is one of the easiest APs, it can save you from intro class or two in college, depending on what college you attend. AP Economics is way more challenging and would look good.At my school must kids take APHG, freshman year and AP Econ, senior year. Honestly it is up to you. If you want to raise your GPA right away or ASAP and you feel confident that your junior year schedule is rigorous enough, take AP Human, it will be great GPA boost if that is you goal. If you ambition is to impress colleges with your courseload, than I would take AP Economics junior year, then take AP Human senior year to even out and boost your GPA.Overall in my opinion, if I were in your shoes, I would in my opinion take AP Human junior year so you can get that GPA boost you need, then senior year I would take AP Econ to show you challenge yourself.
I disagree on the relative uselessness of the its one of the very few classes you’ll take in his that deals with the world in which we live. The fact it’s easy makes it a bonus:)
AP Human Geo was hard for me, my teacher was a jerk, gave me a B with a 92% because my left sides in my interactive notebook were “incomplete”. The in-class tests are really hard, let me warn you, but probably not as hard as APUSH or other APs.
