<p>Hey guys,</p>

<p>I'm having a hard time choosing my schedule for next year. This is the schedule that I have submitted to my counselors as of recently:</p>

<ol>
<li>Yearbook</li>
<li>Multivariable Calculus</li>
<li>AP Biology</li>
<li>AP Computer Science</li>
<li>AP French</li>
<li>English 12 HN</li>
<li>AP Government</li>
</ol>

<p>So here is the dilemma: I want to switch out of AP French and transfer to AP Physics B...but I'm not sure if I can handle AP Physics B with my current schedule. I can handle AP French + the other 6 classes since languages come rather easily to me, but those 6 classes + AP Physics B? I might sink rather than swim. </p>

<p>However I still want to take AP Physics B. The thing is I absolutely do not want to take French next year; I hate it. I had an epiphany earlier this week when I was doing part of the French summer assignment; I won't be able to stand sitting in my French class for another year. Physics, on the other hand, I can picture myself doing. I've had an interest in the topic for a while now...</p>

<p>So this brings my main question: how can I change my schedule to accommodate AP Physics B? Should I keep AP Gov or should I drop it? Should I switch to regular English? Should I drop one of my sciences? What should I do! [You should know that my school only offers certain Government + English combos: English12HN/APGov, APLit/Gov or Gov HN, APGov/APComparative/APLit, or Gov/English]</p>

<p>The only classes that I must keep are Yearbook and Multivar. I'd prefer to keep Bio + Comp Sci in my schedule, but if I must, I am willing to change them. </p>

<p>If you've read or skimmed everything, thank you! Please help; I would greatly appreciate your input/help.</p>

<p>[Sorry for any typos- I'm in a rush! I also apologize if I was confusing in my explanation/request]</p>

<p>You should take AP Physics C. It would be great once you feel the pain of how difficult the course is. Have fun :D.</p>

<p>I don’t know how difficult those courses will be since I don’t go to your school, but I’d recommend dropping down the Gov or the English, or both. Keep in mind that your schedule will be very math- and science-heavy. If you want to major in a science/are applying to schools that won’t give you credit for AP Gov or AP Lit, there’s no point in taking those two AP courses if you feel like you can’t handle them. </p>

<p>Also, keep in mind that some schools won’t give you credit for AP Physics B, only AP Physics C, so if you’re already past BC Calc and are interested in Physics, I’d go for it. That’s something I regret not doing my senior year.</p>

<p>I would keep the French, it looks good to take a language senior year and you need some balance between STEM and the humanities.</p>
