<p>Please rate my junior schedule and help me plan out my course schedule. Thanks!</p>
<p>It’s not going to matter specifically what classes you take. They just want to see that you are challenging yourself given what the school offers you. They will definitely want to see high level math and science courses which you have already shown. They will view your grades in your math/science classes more importantly than your other grades.</p>
<p>I think you’re fine right now if that is close to or is the most rigorous courseload you can take. No worries. Just do well in your AP’s.</p>
<p>Perhaps if you plan to apply to MIT and Caltech your proposed schedule would resonate. Even for those colleges it is unbalanced.</p>
<p>Without knowing more about you, your high school, your grades and your college and future goals it is impossible to “rate” it.</p>
<p>I would encourage you to step back. Look at what your “dream” colleges recommend and have a long chat with your high school counselor, or a trusted and savvy adult before committing to such a schedule.</p>
<p>Since you are taking AP Physics and Calc AB, which is a difficult to do, you are going to need to learn some calculus over this summer to get into the calculus mindset earlier, because that makes physics c less difficult to understand. Since this is your junior year, your success in these classes will be what colleges will pay attention to more. If your grades are very good, then this is good for a schedule that aims towards science/math, especially since computer classes are in there too. But it will be difficult taking physics without previous calculus classes.</p>
