<p>I'm only a junior but I've been looking at potential colleges and universities to apply to. I'm particularly interested in schools with top language programs.</p>
<p>Ninth Grade: (no AP classes are available to freshmen)
English Honors
Pre- AP World (honors)
Italian 2
Living Environment (non-honors)
Algebra I (non-honors)
Band (flute)</p>
<p>Tenth Grade: (only AP class available was World History)
English Honors
AP World (I got a 5 on the AP test)
Earth Science Honors
Italian 3
French 2
Geometry (non-honors)
Band</p>
<p>Eleventh Grade:
AP English Language and Composition
AP US History
Italian 4
French 3
Spanish 2
Chemistry Honors
Algebra II/Trig (non-honors)</p>
<p>Twelfth Grade:
AP Literature
AP European History
AP US Government & Politics or AP Microeconomics
Italian 5
French 4
Spanish 3
AP Physics</p>
<p>** I might drop Italian and take band again during my senior year since it's my least favorite of the three languages and also the least useful. Clearly I'm much more of an intellectual person than a math person, and I really hope that doesn't hurt me too much when I'm applying to colleges...</p>

Yes, provided you do pretty well. Very rigorous.</p>
<p>With good grades, SATs, and ECs, yes. (Assuming, of course, that it’s not an easy course load relative to your classmates.)</p>
<p>Course loads are judged within the context of what is available to you. If this is nearly the most rigorous schedule you can take, then you should be fine, provided you do well in your classes as well.</p>
<p>I would consider taking a 4th year of math. I know you aren’t a math person, but 4 years is pretty standard. You’re proposing 3 years and finishing with Algebra II/Trig… since you aren’t taking Pre-Calc as a junior, I think you should consider taking that 4th year.</p>
<p>Do you have opportunities to take honors level language courses? Also I would agree about the 4 yrs of math. You are missing a biology course as well =/ Is the AP physics phys B or phys C?</p>
<p>It is obvious that you are very enthusiastic about languages but from my perspective it could be a little more challenging especially because liberal arts is all about developing critical thinking and interdisciplinary skills to create all around well educated students, so it wouldn’t hurt to think about that 4th year of math. Can’t do anything about the weaker sciences now though =/ Otherwise, english and history are top-notch.</p>
<p>My senior year I have the choice of taking either AP physics, AP Biology, or AP chemistry as a science elective. I’m most interested in taking physics, but maybe biology would be better for getting into college? I absolutely hate math, and I have graduation requirements (I have to take 1/2 year of health, so I’d be alternating band/health) so there’s almost no way I could take a math elective.</p>
<p>My school doesn’t offer honors or AP language courses, but at the end of this year I’m going to be getting a tutor and self-studying for the AP French exam.</p>
<p>I don’t think any college would value Physics, Bio, or Chemistry differently (at least not appreciably).</p>
<p>Well the thing is that AP Physics B is comparable to chem and bio honors classes (it’s slightly harder but not by much) while AP Physics C is more comparable to the level of AP bio/chem (and is probably harder by a little again as well)</p>
<p>Well since I won’t be taking a math elective senior year, I figured physics would be the closest thing to it while also counting as a science.</p>
