<p>Hey, I'm a rising Junior this year. I'm currently signed up to take:
AP US History
AP Environmental Science
Algebra 2
English 11
French 4
One buisness elective, and one marketing elective, both full-year courses
--It was suggested to me that I consider dropping an elective and take Physics Honors instead. Math isn't my best subject, and I know that Physics is very math-oriented. I am also interested in taking AP Psychology instead of the suggested Physics Honors, or taking AP Micro and Macro Economics(which unfortunately would be online as an 8th and 9th class, both are .5 credits) I am worried that when I apply to good schools, I will not have a tough enough course load. </p>
<p>--Freshman year: Honors English 9, Honors History/Civilizations, French 2 (French 1 in 8th grade) I got a 3.35 GPA Unweighted, 3.5 weighted Freshman Year
--Sophomore year: Honors English 10, AP World History (5 on exam, A in class)
I got a 3.65 Unweighted, 3.85 Weighted Sophomore Year
All of the other courses are basic, non honors/advanced courses.
For those first two years, our school had a very difficult grading scale: 94-100 A(4), 93-90 B+(3.5), 89-84 B (3) and so on.
This year,they altered it so it is now
A (93-100) = 4.0,
A- (90-92) = 3.7
B+ (87-89) = 3.3
B (83-86) = 3.0
B- (80-82) = 2.7
I am hoping that the colleges will realize that in a normal, 10 point system, I would have much higher grades(I had lots of B+'s, which would be A's in a 10 pt sys), but I am worried that they will ignore that.
Any suggestions on what courses to take? By the way, I really want to go to USouthern California, Wake Forest, or UVA (instate)
Sorry bout the length, but I'm kinda worried</p>
