<p>I just got my high school schedule, which is:</p>
<p>Accelerated Geometry
9th grade lit gifted
AP Human Geography
AP Bio
Spanish 1
AP environmental science</p>
<p>The problem is, I don't have PE/Health and I need that to graduate. I really don't want to do it in 10/11/12th grade. And, I don't want to take Spanish; I really want to take Latin. So, should I change out AP environmental science for PE/Health and change out Spanish for Latin? How do you change out classes? Thank you.</p>
<p>Change out Spanish for Latin, it’s a good differentiating factor and will help with science classes. keep enviro if PE brings down your gpa.</p>
<p>Do you know if you can take PE online? A lot of people choose to do that to get the credit but without interfering with they’re schedule. </p>
<p>Your High School offers AP courses for Freshmen?? Other than that, I would recommend doing an after school sport for your Phys Ed credit. I don’t know if your school does that, but its what I did! </p>
<p>@dgsk42 most schools don’t let you do that</p>
<p>It never hurts to ask. My school let me test out of gym by exercising on my own time and keeping track of the hours. </p>
<p>An A in PE/Health won’t bring down your unweighted GPA, and that’s all that matters. (Weighted GPA sometimes matters for class rank, but presumably everyone at your school has to have PE/Health in their weighted GPA.)</p>
<p>Talk to your guidance counselor to see if you can change Spanish to Latin. Spanish is more useful for talking to people in the “real world,” but Latin is cooler. :)</p>
<p>Thanks for the replies, but do you guys think that taking three APs (even though HG and Enviromental science are the easiest) freshman year is a little too much? Although I know what I can handle, I want to make sure I’m not going to be taking on too much.</p>
<p>I think you should be fine if you are hard working.</p>
<p>All easy classes, with the exception of Biology, which you will find very difficult</p>
<p>@HighSchoolDoctor I have to disagree. I’m taking AP Biology as a freshman and don’t think it’s very difficult.</p>
<p>Yeah, in order to get out of gym, I had done Spring Varsity Track and Fall Junior Varsity Tennis, which actually looks good for college I suppose! I had gotten special permission from the athletic director though because I had needed the time to do Honors Chemistry, but it never hurts to ask. </p>
<p>If you can get your PE req another way do it. Colleges will not judge you for taking a non-honors or AP classes if you need them to graduate. AP enviro is kind of a joke AP, so dropping it will not make you miss out on any class that would be important to you (unless you really care about the material). </p>
