<p>I am not that good at math, and was planning on not taking a math course this senior year, but now having second thoughts.
Also, I did not take physics, but rather AP Bio last year(and got an A).
I am planing to take AP Comparative Gov, AP Euro (Both AP's I have been wanting to take for a long time), <em>AP Enviro</em>--- Should I take APES?
Also, Chinese 1, French 2 and English 11 regular-/Non Honors/AP.
Also my school offers Arabic 1, but it is an Online course, should I take this instead of Chinese?
I took Precalculus-Trig Online last year and hated it! (Got a B+, but sincerely dreaded it)
My GPA is a 3.6 which I know is not good, but I am vastly improving from 9th to 11th, gpa wise. (3.3 gpa 9th grade, 3.6 10th grade, 4.0 11th grade)
I know for sure though that AB Calculus would ruin my senior year and I would ultimately hate doing it, because I honestly blank out on tests and quizzes.
Planning to major in Foreign Affairs.
Also, I did do an interview with GW, and part hispanic which will hopefully help with admissions.</p>
<p>Colleges want to see a strong senior year schedule including a fourth year of math, usually sequential, which means AP Calculus or CP/Honors Calculus, if available. Consider taking Statistics instead.</p>
<p>APES- take only if you are interested. Otherwise colleges like to see another lab science senior year. Many colleges like to see Bio, Chem, and Physics as foundational lab sciences.</p>
<p>Most colleges want to see you reach level 3 of a Foreign Language or level 2 of two languages.</p>
<p>Speaking as a School Counselor, I cannot overemphasize the importance of a strong senior year schedule to stay a competitive college applicant and for admissions officers to gauge your continued commitment to academics.</p>
