@gettingschooled I have already taken the SAT and ACT, I’m just taking them again. However I have not taken the subject tests yet. I will be taking those. I’ve spoken to admission officers at all but one of these classes and said I can still turn in my application and send the scores in when I receive them or have them directly sent. The schools I listed are my top choices, but I have other schools I know I can get into.
@mathyone I would have to take 2 basic comp sci classes before the AP version. I really enjoy chemistry, that why I wanted to take it. I understand coding is of great importance, and I learning and practicing outside of school. I didn’t take comp sci classes before because I only found out about them in the middle of my junior year. At my school they have Academic (normal classes), PAP (Pre-advanced placement, which is honors classes), Dual (only available with some courses), then AP. I have visited many of these universities and they said my 2 credits is fine. Harvard has 4 years recommended, but I know several people who have gotten in on 2. The testing window for the PE CBE is August 1-12 at my school and I would need 90 hours of regular exercise, 120 hours of bowling and tennis. Also, I would need to prepare for 200 multiple choice questions. I think I may just take Psych in college, but if i take the CBE I can take Spanish 3. I have been advised not to take Spanish 3 because I’ve taken a year off. I can read, understand and speak Spanish but when it comes to verb conjugations and writing it, I know I will be lacking. Please also see my response to @MYOS1634. What do you think about taking the CBE to take Spanish 3? Also, I would have to complete Spanish 3 before I take Spanish 4 AP, so i have no plans to take that class.
AP Capstone is a 2-year program

@CheddarcheeseMN I understand, but at my school, no girls would actually exercise, only sit on the bleachers. I’m taking all of these AP classes because I don’t have many other options. My teacher has a masters degree in Psychology, but I understand what you are saying. I will probably take in in college.
@Nedcone I understand the course load will be extraneous. I took 4 last year and was able to handle it just fine. I will actually on have 5 per semester and 6 tests at the end if I take P.E. I live in a state where if you get 3 on a AP test, every public university is required to accept it as a credit. I do have a drive to understand each of these subjects. That has never been the question from anyone around me. They (mainly my mother) are just worried, but this has a lot to do with the fact she doesn’t fully understand AP. What school did you end up going to, if you don’t mind me asking?
@MYOS1634 I think I will plan to take the French test. I was just worried that having 2 years of Spanish and the taking French would look like I flipped flopped. I know i can get Howard, Hampton, Fisk, and Xavier. I could also get into Texas A&M, Trinity in San Antonio as well as Boston University (possibly) and a few others. One again, the ones I listed were just my top choices.

I took 4 last year and was able to handle it just fine. I will actually on have 5 per semester and 6 tests at the end if I take P.E. Its mainly the tests I’m concerned about (AP, SAT, ACT). I have looked at U Chicago’s essays and I understand. I spoke with the admission counselor while I was there and she told me some good tips for the essays. Please read my response too @MYOS1634 above on the school situation.
You know what, thank you so much. Lol, I never thought to actually enjoy my senior year. There’s just so much stress put on me by my family. I will follow your advice and try to go easy on myself.
