<p>Hi everyone, I was just wondering if you guys could look through my high school schedule and make suggestions/comments/etc about it and if my senior schedule is "okay". (I'm a junior btw) I have a cumulative 3.8 GPA unweighted, which I know isn't the best, but I've always been told that it's better to get a B in a "hard" class than an A in an "easy" class...
My current GPA unweighted is 4.0 (who knows how long that will last.. haha)</p>
<p>Here we go :)</p>
<p>I'm not sure if this is relevant or not, but i took Algebra I Honors and Spanish I in 8th grade</p>
<p>9th grade:
-English Honors
-World History Honors
-Geometry Honors
-Biology Honors
-Spanish II
-HOPE (it's like a P.E./health class thats required for my state)
-Career Research & Decision Making for 1st semester elective (also required) and Creative Writing for 2nd semester elective</p>
<p>10th grade:
-English Honors
-AP U.S. History (got a 4 on national exam)
-Algebra II Honors
-Chemistry Honors
-Spanish III (considered an Honors)
-Drama I
-Drivers Ed 1st semester and Weight Training 2nd semester (got stuck with weight training... :[ lol)</p>
<p>Summer In Between:
I took 2 Dual Enrollment Courses at my local community college- U.S. Gov't and Economics (people usually take those during junior year, but I didn't have room in my schedule bc of AP Bio)</p>
<p>11th grade:
-AP English Language & Composition
-AP Psychology
-Analysis of Functions (stupid mistake!! I wish I took Precal this year!!!! D: )
-AP Biology (is a double period so I only have 6 classes instead of 7)
-Physics Honors
-Spanish IV (Honors)</p>
<p>Summer In Between: more dual enrollment.......
I still have time to decide but I was going to take College Algebra (to catch up with everyone else after analysis of functions) and another course. I wanted to take Medical Terminolgy, but I've heard its a waste of time. Maybe an artsy type of class? The only arts class I have is Drama from 10th grade.. :\ Summer Dual Enrollment is free for up to 2 classes, so that's my limit. Suggestions on that pleaseee? :)</p>
<p>My (Hopefully) Senior Schedule :)
-AP English Literature and Composition
-Precal Honors
-AP Chemistry (another double period)
-A&P Honors
-Advanced Communications (I'm pretty sure this is honors... this is our senior seminar class- I heard everyone ends up taking it, even if they didn't sign up... haha)
-Science Research</p>
<p>*****I go to a school that requires all seniors to complete a Senior Project. You cannot graduate without it (we get a diploma of distinction) Sr. Seminar guides you throughout your Sr. Project. Some students take this PLUS Science Research. For Sci Res, you have to complete a Science Fair Project. This can be the same thing as your Sr. Project, except you have to alter some minor things. I have alot of senior friends who are doing this and they said it was a good choice if you want a career in the sciences. (I want to be a geneticist) so I'm kinda set on those two classes..</p>
<p>Is that an okay list of courses? Should I take an arts class to look more well rounded? I want to go to UF. My dream school is Columbia (and yes, I know thats almost no chance of getting in!) Any advice would be great!!!!</p>
<p>Thank you for reading all of that!! :D</p>
