<p>Senior Year:
1. AP Environmental Science
2. Multivariable Calculus/ Differential Equations
3. Study Hall
4. AP Literature
5. AP Comparative Government
6. Spanish V
7. AP World History
8. Journalism
9. AP Microeconomics (self-study, but shows up as a class with a grade)</p>
<p>Is this schedule what colleges like say Duke or Johns Hopkins would want for a senior?</p>
<p>On surface it seems good, remember that colleges judge by the context of your school so if this is the hardest schedule you could take or near hardest then you’ll be good. All that matters is that your counselor rates your course rigor (over 4 years) as most rigorous and you’re good.</p>
<p>@theanaconda Thanks for bringing that counselor thing up, I had a question about that as well. So, a college only knows how rigorous my schedule is based upon what my counselor says? Like, if she says “Most Rigorous” about my current schedule, will a college look into that or just take her word for it?</p>
<p>I think they likely just take her word.</p>
<p>Don’t take the study hall it doesn’t look good, take something else that is hard like dual credit physics which will look really good.
Also AP world history and environmental science is a 10th grade course, at least is it for my school.
What is multivariable calclulus? Take AP Calculus or dual credit Calculus instead.</p>
<p>@university89
multivariable class is the class after calculus BC. …</p>
<p>@university89 one study hall senior year with 5 APs and 2 post-APs (multivar & diff eq) is perfectly fine and will not decrease course rigor. You obviously are not knowledgeable on this subject, so in the future, please look things up before commenting. Multivar is calc 3, which is after BC/Calc 1 and 2 (which is easy to find out by a google search). Differential equations is another college math class that you typically take after multivar and/or linear algebra.</p>
<p>Very rigorous.</p>
<p>Wow, really? I didn’t know high schools offered Calc 3. You would have to take algebra in 6th grade then? </p>
<p>@university89 (sorry for double posting but my browser won’t let me edit) There is also no school year restriction on any APs. These are imposed by your school. You can take the courses in any year, provided your school will let you. AP Environmental and AP World are taken many different years around where I live. AP World was a 10th grade course in my brothers school (because you took world history sophomore year, us history junior year), AP enviro could be taken any year. Neither one was offered at my high school. There are some schools that take AP World junior year. There is no set year, especially for electives. As far as I know, at my high school there was only two APs that you could only take one specific year, APUSH (junior) and AP US Gov (senior). </p>

<p>@university89 Or you could take alg 1 in 7th grade and AP Calculus BC in 11th grade. Calculus AB isn’t a prerequisite for Calculus BC (although it helps). </p>
<p>
Some do, but very few. Most HS students who take it do so via dual enrollment.</p>
<p>@university89 no, to reach calc 3 in high school (which actually isn’t that uncommon as you would think), you need to be on a track of taking algebra in 7th grade (or skip a year of math somehow). Example track in my area is algebra 1, geometry, algebra 2, precalc, calc BC, multivar/linear (each is a semester course).</p>
<p>(ugh, why is this being so glitchy- i tried another browser and it didn’t help, ill try restarting).</p>
<p>@guineagirl96 @university89 Thanks guineagirl for explaining to everyone. I took Algebra 2 and Geometry both freshman year, then Pre-Calc, then BC, now Calc 3. And I’m taking AP Enviro because Ive already taken AP Bio and Ap Chemistry and chose it over AP Physics because I dont really like physics. I was just wondering about my current schedule because I didn’t want to appear like I was slacking senior year. Thanks guys</p>
