Help me with my schedule!

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>Okay guys so I just went to my school to check and apparently, they weren't able to give me AP Stats for the new year!!! So so far, my junior schedule looks like this:</p>

<p>Pre-calc honors
AP US Gov
AP Comparative Gov
AP Chem
AP Physics
AP English Language
AP Spanish Literature
<strong><em>blank</em></strong></p>

<p>Debate & Argumentation in Community College
AP Micro
Latin 2
Algebra 2 honors</p>

<p>For no credit although it shows in transcript
German 2</p>

<p>Now, this is my schedule until December. I REALLY, REALLY, need AP Stats junior year because I am applying to Wharton in UPenn. </p>

<p>So here's what I can do:</p>

<p>Starting January, I can take AP Stats in community college. In May, I have to take the second semester of AP US History in community college. </p>

<p>Summer is whole nother list that's irrelevant so I won't include it. </p>

<p>I'm thinking I could do that, but then, what do I take in my school for the <strong><em>blank</em></strong> space???</p>

<p>AP Psychology is open but I really don't want to take it cause I am really not into those things... :(</p>

<p>At the same time, I HAVE to take something but I don't want to lower my GPA. </p>

<p>Actually, I don't really care about my GPA as long as it's above 4.0, but I don't want colleges to think that I was so lazy and decided to take a regular class when I could have taken something more challenging. :(</p>

<p>What should I do?!?!??!?!</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I think you're exaggerating the dangers of taking one regular class in a field of APs. Still, taking Psych wouldn't be such a bad idea. Purportedly, it's one of the easiest AP classes you can possibly have, and many courses in college require Psych 101 (or equivalent) as a prerequisite. Furthermore, Psych strikes me as the kind of course one would rather not take in a 200-300 student lecture hall.</p>

<p>I would just take the psychology class...</p>

<p>You live in florida, so you could take AP US History on flvs.</p>

5

<p>why is it so necessary for you to take Stats junior year? You could take it senior year....colleges still get your semester grades</p>

6

<p>if you think you can handle the workload (which, by your thread, you think probably think you can), then go for AP Psychology.</p>

<p>I need AP Stats by Junior year cause I'm applying to Wharton. By the time, I apply, I'd have completed 3 college-level Calculus courses so I guess it looks pretty bad if I haven't completed AP Stats. </p>

<p>I take AP American in community college because frankly, even though you have to read a disgusting amount (20-30 textbook pgs. per day) you finish a whole semester in 6 weeks. And then you don't need the AP test cause you inmediately get credit. </p>

<p>I was thinking maybe Art... I took Art 1 freshman year and I loved it and ever since the teacher follows me around campus trying to get me to take Art again... but again, Im going to business school cause I love finance, will it look wrong for the ad coms for me to take art when I want to do finance (complete opposites)???</p>

<p>if u like art, go for it! dont be afraid to deviate from the norm/all-AP sched.</p>
