Is my class schedule okay?

<p>I'm going to be a Junior next year, and it's important for me to get good classes that will help my chances for college.</p>

<p>I'm taking these weighted classes:
AP Statistics
AP Studio Art
AP English Comp
AP US History
Honors Physics</p>

<p>And then Digital Animation (which is unweighted.)</p>

<p>I'm not worried about the work load because two-thirds of the classes are actually quite fun, and that's all I really need to stay motivated for school. Not to mention I'm great at History, Art, and English. (Currently have a 3.71 GPA) Also, after junior year, I'm quitting math, mainly because it has been a thorn in my side since I learned how to subtract, so I'm VERY motivated to finish this class strong.</p>

<p>That being said, I'm also planning to take some classes over summer (because I'm a loner with really nothing to do) which are at my community college:</p>

<p>Freehand Drawing
Psychology
Ceramics Throwing</p>

<p>I'm going to take some also during Junior Year, but they'll be art classes (to help my technique), French 2 classes (because I don't like the french class at my high school and it can lead me into conversational French at the college), and dance classes (to help my technique and take some edge off Junior Year.) </p>

<p>As for the SATs and the ACTs, I'm taking both. I'm taking the SAT because it's required for most colleges and I want to beat my brother's score of 1870, and I'm taking the ACT because my counselor said it'd probably help me more.</p>

<p>I'm feeling really pressured to have some gimmick (i.e., "the High School College Girl" or the "Artistic Scholar") to get into the colleges I want, but I'm not letting it affect me overall on whether or not I want to take college classes. Sure, my social life is going to be a total bore, but then again, it wasn't much of one anyways. I'm hoping with what I'm doing I can get into a UC/CSU school with some ease. (If you want to know which one I'm hoping for, it's SDSU. I have heard it's a party school (not to mention a really good school), and trust me, with what I'm trying to do for the next few years, I'll need it.)</p>

<p>I'm a hard worker when I put my mind to it, and I'm not letting myself fall after 11 years of school. So please be constructive with your criticism. I'm only doing what I and everyone else know I'm capable of.</p>

<p>That’s pretty soft for a junior, none of those AP’s are particularly hard. And I would definitely recommend against not taking math senior year, especially if you’re only taking AP Stats junior year. That looks REALLY REALLY REALLY bad lol.</p>

<p>I partly disagree with minnesotaguy; difficulty of a schedule is dependent of the student taking it. If you’re not strong in math, AP Stats and Honors Physics are probably good choices. Besides that, AP US History is chalenging for most students due to the breadth of information covered.</p>

<p>Though I do agree that you should take math again senior year. You can’t afford to take any breaks your last year in terms of rigor.</p>
