<p>I'm at the deadline (tomorrow) of changing my course for next year (junior), and I wanted to see the opinions of CC.</p>
<p>AP Chem (2 periods)
AP English
AP Computer Science
Math Analysis Honors (hardest offered for grade...weighted 5.0)
ASB (Student gvt class. our school has a legit one... massive time commitment)
US History (regular...took AP European History last year)</p>
<p>I wanted to know whether you think I should stay in APUSH or just go into the regular College Prep class. The teacher is supposed to be rediculously hard (only 3 A-s out of 50 people or so). My worst fear is getting burnt out.</p>
<p>Will it be bad if I don't take APUSH in terms of college admissions (top tier)?</p>
<p>Math Analysis Honors is the hardest honors class in my school too (only 15 people in my school currently take the course and our school has 2800 students) . I am going to be a junior next year as well. I had to devote at least 2 hours a day on math and with your current schedule I think it will be very hard especially with AP chem and ASB. I think you should just go into regular prep class for USH . Unless you plan to major in history.</p>
<p>I actually just got off the phone with my GC (because deadline is tomorrow) and she said if I want to apply to Ivies, then I HAVE to take APUSH...</p>
<p>APUSH is considered a bread and butter AP course...I would take it, if I were you. If you are really super concerned about burning out, it might be a good idea to drop AP CS, which though a very worthwhile course, is probably the least "necessary" of the ones that you have listed.</p>
<p>Thanks for the advice!</p>
<p>What others are considered "bread and butter?"</p>
<p>English for sure, probably also Calc if your school offers it. Not quite "bread and butter", but I would add that if available, an applicant looking to be as competitive as possible should probably have one AP science course as well (There were quite a few pre-med kids at my HS who took all three (Bio, Physics, Chem)).</p>
<p>yeah ill end up taking ap physics, ap calc, ap stat, ect senior year.</p>
<p>OK, I guess I'll go with APUSH</p>
<p>AP Chem 0 Period

<p>screw it. might as well go for it :)</p>
