Level 1 Earth Science

<p>Sophomore:
AP Bio
AP World History
level 1 Spanish III
level 1 english
honors precalc
honors orchestra</p>

<p>Junior:

<p>Senior (Likely next year):

Some random elective</p>

<p>The thing is, have I taken way too many level 1 courses? they're mostly during sophomore and freshmen year. senior and junior schedules are definitely better than the first two years. also, because i plan on applying to engineering schools, does it matter that ive only taken 3 years of foreign language?</p>

<p>It looks fine. The fact that you have two AP’s as a sophomore and 4 AP’s as a junior, as well as 3 more AP’s and a college class during your senior year, indicates a rigorous schedule. Also, since you’re most likely going into a math or science major, the fact that your English courses weren’t as rigorous isn’t going to matter.</p>

<p>I’m baffled by your question.</p>

<p>Surely you must realize that you’ve taken and continue to take the most rigorous curriculum that is possible in high school. Do any of your classmates have more rigorous curriculum relative to what your school offers.</p>

<p>So I don’t understand your angst.</p>

<p>Your GC is the one that typically marks official transcripts in terms of rigor. If you really have doubts, ask him. I would be extremely surprised if he says anything other than that he’s mark your transcript “most rigorous”.</p>

<p>well, CC has a way of making people paranoid</p>
