<p>My classes are fine in my mind but it's the ecs that I have little perspective on. I don't know what other people do, but I'm guessing their schedules are similar to mine. If you have any suggestions or comments I'd love to hear them! Thank you.</p>

<p>Oh, sorry, I forgot..
my gpa is something like this
weighted: 4.33 unweighted: 3.9something</p>

<p>my SAT scores are probably give or take 2250, depending on this summer</p>

<p>Your doing good. Journalism is a generic EC but show an unusaual level of passion.</p>

3

<p>why not just take BC calc your junior year and be done? Probably cause you want to squeeze in a couple more APs...</p>

<p>Have fun taking 10 APs during your high school career</p>

4

<p>If you have the balls, go straight into AP Physics junior year, load the APs earlier so they show up at colleges.</p>

<p>Haha, thanks for the feedback. </p>

<p>To the two people who told me to do AP Calc BC and AP Physics in junior year: thanks but I want to be around when it's time to apply to college, haha.</p>

<p>And it's strange that nobody's nitpicking at my ecs because I thought it was a big thing to tell ppl that their activities are too generic in this forum. Does this mean my ecs are sufficient enough to be passed over?</p>
