<p>I'm thinking about NYU or UCLA for college, so is this a rigorous enough schedule?</p>
<p>Thank youuu!</p>
<p>that is definitely a rigorous enough schedule:P... But depending on where ur thinking, ur courses can alter...
for me, I'm not into the "science, pre-med," department, but rather in the literature, political science, journalism, dep.
so my academic courses are
Ap lang
ApUSH
AP calc ab
Ap Psychology( at a nearby CCollege)
1st semester: constitutional law
2nd semester: advanced enviornment& society or literature and politics
and Spanish 3</p>
<p>I dunno, it's pretty lax when you look closely at it. APES is notoriously an easy AP, so your hard classes are english and APUSH. Can you bump up psych to AP level? You're a year behind most kids in math and science who are already taking pre-calc and AP sciences usually as well as taking regular spanish. Just being brutally honest... but NYU and UCLA are major stretches on this schedule unless you're a fantastic athlete (recruited) or a URM.</p>

<p>^^ That's not true at all. It depends on your school. At my school the typical junior year APs are just US history and English. Most people are a year ahead of you in math though. It really depends on what is offered at your school.</p>
<p>My school only has regular Spanish...no honors or anything. This isn't set in stone so maybe I'll just take AP Bio instead of APES.</p>
<p>CurrySpice you need to mellow down (maybe with a little yogurt). Darnfancylettuce (whats with all the food names) is right. Depends on what the school offers and allows. Kids from my daughter's school send truckloads of kids to NYU/Columbia/Cornell every year and the occasional kid to HYP with only 2 AP classes in junior year. That is because the non-AP classes are very rigorous at the school and adcoms know it. Agreed that the math is slightly behind the average but this could still lead to Precalc/Calc in senior year. Make it AP Bio if you can- but won't you need to add a lab for that?</p>
<p>Yes, I just won't take Psych.</p>
<p>Should I take AP Chem Senior year or just take APES?</p>
<p>ap chem senior year...</p>
<p>AP Bio would be a lot more work than AP Enviro....so keep that in mind....also take AP Chem as a senior.</p>
<p>Hows this schedule ( I HATE science and have taken AP Eng Lang, World Hist, and US Hist and Calc AB already) for senior year?</p>
<p>AP Gov. and Politics (required course, either AP level or reg.)
AP Economics (we do both macro and micro)
AP Calc BC
AP English Lit
AP French
self study AP Euro</p>
<p>Ive already taken Bio Chem and Physics Honors, and realllly hate science. so is this a good schedule?</p>
<p>a good schedule is what you feel good abt.</p>
<p>"I HATE science..." , "...and reallly hate science."
Why? 'cause it requires using your brain?</p>
<p>HannahB2: What are planning on majoring in? If it's math/science/engineering(REAL subjects), then replace AP ES w/ physics, if you're planning on majoring in English/social studies (useless subjects to pursue after high school), then the current schedule is probably ok.</p>
<p>stone_cutter...fyi, u r very stereotyped about your thoughts...English/social studies majors r useless only to those who considers these subjects useless...</p>
<p>Innovative: Don't get me wrong, knowledge of Social studies and english is very important in life, but pursuing those subjects in college... is... kinda useless, from what I have noticed: 1) My math teacher in 10th grade had a masters in psychology... and was teaching Geometry!... which has nothing to do with psychology. 2) I had a substitute teacher a few days ago who had a Ph.D in psychology... and was a substitute teacher! 3) My sister told me there was a guy who got a bachelor degree in archaelogy... and was working at Staples! 4) There's a woman who works in our school's attendence office who majored in history.... and is working in an attendence office in a high school, which has nothing to do with history whatsoever!
As for English... all you need is sparknotes. Even my english once gave a quiz which contained questions that were all from sparknotes! So people who went to sparknotes had an advantage over the people who actually read the book.
- sorry... I just needed to get that out of my system.</p>
<p>I'm just saying, from what I have seen, English & social studies seem like pointless subjects.</p>
