APs Senior Year

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>I'm thinking about what classes I should take next year. I'm in this Cisco Networking Academy program at my HS, so here's what I have lined up for next year so far:</p>

<p>Cisco II-H (4 Blocks)
AP Literature
AP Statistics
AP Microeconomics</p>

<p>That leaves me with one more class. I'm either going to take AP Macroeconomics, or an unweighted elective, Investment and Financial Management. </p>

<p>Although my GPA will take a drop, it won't be much.
Cumulative weighted GPA w/ both economics courses will be a 4.53
Cumulative weighted GPA w/o AP Macro will be a 4.5</p>

<p>I want to major in Finance at a top school, so what do you guys think would be better? Would it be better to take a class related to my major and enjoy senior year w/ one less AP? Or should I just take AP Macro, because it'll look better on transcripts, although colleges will not see my senior year GPA?</p>

<p>Asked simular question early so here’s the thread. I know it’s not geared specifically towards your schedule but there are some universal ideas.</p>

<p>Bottom line is that you should take what you want. As long as you can pass the class with descent grades, then you can afford a .03 drop. Just don’t get to much senioritis ;)</p>
