<p>I'm a junior right now and I got ahead quite a bit in my high school career. I took Calculus BC as a sophomore so my schedule looks like this:</p>
<p>AP US History
AP Physics B
AP English
AP Chemistry
AP Physics C
AP Biology
AP Environmental Science</p>
<p>The only APs I have left to take senior year is AP English Lit and AP Gov/Econ. By the end of my junior year, I would have taken every math and science AP that my school offers. What should I do?</p>
<p>Take some fun classes you would enjoy. Work on your EC’s. And, if you want, and have time, take some more advanced classes either at a local college or online [EPGY at Stanford offers many college level classes] Just have a conversation with your GC, to insure he will let colleges know you took the most rigorous classes offered at your HS. </p>
<p>But remember, the grades you get in those classes matter just as much as the classes themseves. If you cant maintain or improve your GPA with all those AP classes in one year[ which I think is too much] then spread it out and spend more time doing EC’s both years, instead of being a slave to your classes your JR year.</p>
<p>AP environmental is known to be an easy class, compared to Bio, Physics and Chem. If the only reason you are taking it is to impress colleges, it wont. Why not take a class that shows a non academic side? Music? Art? Journalism.? Or really dive into an outside EC and show some passion outside the classroom as well.</p>
<p>Are you sure you can handle 5 science APs (of course, enviro isn’t too rigorous, but…) in one year? That schedule seems awfully masochistic. Why not just even it out? Spread some of those APs out to senior year and take some electives this year instead.</p>
<p>You could learn a language or two. That’s impressive to colleges and something to feel good about.</p>
<p>Maybe take something on-line.</p>
<p>Down in florida, we have Florida Virtual</p>
<p>so I think you can study something like Latin, that you might not normally have at your school.</p>
<p>Why do Physics B and C in the same year? Wouldn’t it be counterproductive to take B if you plan on taking C at basically the same time? I guess if your not taking E and M, B works out but if you are, I would assume you only get credit for the Calc based one.</p>
