Courseload too rigorous?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>Tomorrow's the last day to change our schedules for next year. I'm going to be a senior, and here's my schedule:</p>

<p>AP Physics
AP Government (I'm actually not sure if I made it into the class since I was waitlisted)
AP Calculus BC (I'm going to have my AB teacher again, and her class was tough.)
AP English Literature (Same teacher that I had for regular English 3. Her grading system is wacko and I ended up with a B.)</p>

<p>And 2 evening classes (Intro to Ethnic Studies and Developmental Psychology) at the community college. The main reason why I'm taking them is to eligible for a tutoring position (for $$).</p>

<p>I'd say I'm an average student (maybe below average compared to people here) with a 3.67 UW GPA, 1910 SAT, and (seriously) very little ECs. I had 3 APs last year and ended with 2 B's both semesters. Should I drop one of my APs? I'm feeling very pessimistic today.</p>

<p>You can definitely handle it, 4 APs isn't that bad until late April.</p>

3

<p>Definitely doable. Don't make lasting decisions based on a one-day gut feeling.</p>

<p>That's not that bad. It's hard so you absolutely must keep up with everything. AP Gov though is a bit of a joke at my school, maybe it is at yours too?</p>

<p>REMEMBER THOUGH! It is your senior year. You are going to want to hang out with friends, do prom, go on road trips, etc. Keep that in mind when deciding your final courseload.</p>

<p>I'd honestly say talk to your counselor and etc, and think about it. The people here will obviously say "Oh it's not that bad I've got more AP's than YOU", but it really depends on you...cliche answer pretty much.</p>

<p>If you're feeling lazy, drop 1 or 2. From looking at the courses, though, you should be fine.</p>

<p>I feel little more optimistic now. If I stop procrastinating, I think I'll be OK... Thanks for the comments.</p>

<p>Just cure yourself of senioritis by late April or you're screwed.</p>
