how vigorous is vigorous? regarding schedule

<p>well heres my senior schedule</p>

<p>AP calc
AP stat
AP eng
AP bio
reg history
honors spanish

<p>in my school, APs are usually taken only in 12th grade. however, i took AP chem in 11th grade, therefore I have to take a required history this year. </p>

<p>however, this year is gonna suck, I got no lunch, even though that doesnt sound like a big deal, it keeps me unfocused and stuff and I cant concentrate on school and college apps. </p>

<p>anyays i was wonderin, attemptin to major in pre-med and stuff. is it necessay to work my butt off to try to "look good" and have 4 APs senior yr and 1 AP junior yr (in total 5 APs). Or do you think I could actually EAT during senior year and drop AP stat. </p>

<p>I mean is it that big of a deal? but I mean i dont wanna NOT get into college and then kick myself and say wow I shoulda taken AP stat instead of LUNCH. </p>

<p>whatdya guys think</p>

<p>are you kidding? if i were you i would definitely drop stats. you're already taking calculus!</p>

<p>Yeah, eat! I'm surprised that your school even lets you skip lunch; that's outrageous. Calc will be vigorous enough for you.</p>

<p>If you really want a fourth AP, I would take a history. You say that you're taking regular history; is there an AP class that you could substitute for the credit?</p>

<p>Also, where are you considering applying? Vigor of record varies drastically from school to school, and for 80% of the colleges out there you have an extremely vigorous record.</p>

<p>drop stats!</p>

<p>Stats is an easy class, totally keep it. AP History classes are the worst though, you get so bored in them. All my opinion though. If you're math-oriented (Asian, just kidding) like me, then keep Stats and work your way through. That's what summer is for, relaxing :P.</p>

<p>Your senior schedule is similar to mine:
Econ
Drawing
AP Bio
AP Eng
AP Phy
AP Stats.</p>

<p>How can you have a class instead of lunch? Are your lunches one hour or something?</p>

<p>we have mods, each mod is 25 minutes and each class is 2 mods or 50 minutes.. so we have 1-2 3-4 5-6 7-8 9-10 11-12 13-14 15-16 each day.. </p>

<p>so i mean stats is soooo pointless, i mean haha yes Castel (Im Asian), I like math and science (thats what i wanna do in college), but stats is totally different. NOWAY will i take APUSH, hardest class in my school and I suck at history. </p>

<p>THE ONLY reason that I am taking stat is cause I felt like I had to make up for takin a regular class (never taken one EVER before, always honors or AP). and I felt lame if I only took 3 APs senior year and 1 junior (4 in total). doesnt seem THAT vigorous. but i dunno.. Think colleges will care that much?? o and i guess it varies from college to college so Ill put some of the colleges Im applyin to. </p>

<p>Georgetown, Johns Hopkins, Michigan, Cornell, Villanova/PSU/PItt (premed), Stanford, Yale, Princeton, </p>

<p>YPS for me is a HUGE reach, I mean thats not even what I'm concerned with. Im more concerned with if my sched would be good enough for my undergrads and accelerated med programs</p>

<p>bump thanks</p>

<p>thanks guys, i gotta know ASAP</p>
