How Much is Too Much?

<p>Hey everyone! This is my first time to post on College Confidential, so I'm sorry if my question doesn't fit this site! As soon as school starts back up again I will be a high school senior.-Can I hear a hoot hoot for the class of 2014? Now as a senior I have been starting to think more seriously about impressing colleges, and more importantly people and businesses who will help me pay for them. I have a hard time saying no, so I was afraid that I may have a little too much on my plate. I was wondering if you could tell me what you thought.
*I know that the difficulty of the class differs from person to person based on teachers and personal strengths, but just a comment on the overall complexity of the course would be great. (: *
1. band
2. government/ world history (these courses are both a semester a piece)
3. English composition (no, unfortunately not the college level one)
4. a.p. chemistry
5.ACT prep
6. a.p. psychology
7. honor band/ track
college Algebra (taking it online. fall)
college American federal government (taking it online. Dec-Jan)
college English Composition 1 (taking it online. spring)
a.p. United States history (self study)</p>

<p>So, let me know what you think. And any helpful books or sites for these subjects would be much appreciated.
thanks so much,

<p>Get barrons for psych and direct hits in a flash for apush. I am not sure what book would be good for chem so you should look into that. Psych and the US exam are not too difficult but you might have a difficult teacher for those classes so be prepared. I would say I think your schedule is overwhelming and I do not think colleges will be impressed because you put on an overload for one semester that colleges do not look at as much as your first 3 years. Focus on colleges apps and having fun, do not try to impress schools, just be happy and be confident that your work throughout high school has been enough.</p>
