<p>about comparison to whats offered in my school, my school offers a lot.
i could take calc bc but i thought, it wont really make a huge difference if i do it. and it'll be a lot harder for me & lower my gpa. its not worth it, yeah? im guessing that there wont be too much of a difference?
i also decided not to do ap us history, which i figured also wont make a huge difference. history is not my strong point, and i know it wont affect my gpa at all. [ours works on a scale of 1-100 and +7 points for honors/ap]. i'm confident i could get a 100 in on-level easily and would proabbly end up with a 93 or less in apush
i chose to do yearbook instead of another ap.
but as for spanish, every other junior at my school is doing spanish 4H next year, so in that respect its more rigorous.
every toher year, i've taken classes that are the most rigorous, usually more so than my school typically offers.
is my schedule good? should i do calc bc?</p>
<p>Your schedule looks great. There’s no need to take Calc BC, unless you’re interested in taking it or are a very strong math student.</p>
<p>You’re looking good</p>
<p>Bump…Anyone else?
Also the difference between 12 and 14 aps is not that much yeah?
The most anyone else in my school is doing is 4 and no one else is self studying so…it’s still considered rigorous for top schools right?</p>
<p>^any other juniors that is. That’s because no one else can take ap spanish</p>

<p>Go ahead and do Calc BC, but be sure to achieve a good grade on it. Also, when selecting AP’s, I suggest keeping your future interests in mind. It doesn’t hurt to have credits and knowledge from differing subjects before entering a college/university.</p>
<p>Your schedule is fine. I think you know the answer to your own question if you’re taking more than anyone else.</p>
<p>xD i’m just insecure i guess. i’m not really taking more than anyone else though. technically speaking, in terms of # of APs i guess
thank you guys :]</p>
<p>Well, you’re going for Ivies, so I’ll say this; there’s no boundary on what’s “enough” for an Ivy, because they want the best in everything. Therefore, literally everything matters, and therefore, when a prospective Ivy league applicant decides to not be at his best, it’s almost as if they’re becoming “not good enough”. In other words, you’re showing your weaknesses (in this case, in two subjects), which could be looked upon negatively by admissions committees. Of course, when you apply and decisions come back, you’ll never know if that factor played a role in your acceptance/denial. But if you’re going for the best, I think you should choose the most rigorous courseload possible, including APUSH and AP calc BC. Think about it this way: you’ll be competing against someone who has your exact same talent and excellence, except he/she HAS taken that advanced history and calculus. Obviously, who would the Ivy leagues accept?</p>
<p>Of course though, it’s your choice. Take what feels comfortable; it’s not a huge, huge deal to get into Ivy league.</p>
<p>Take Calc BC and APUSH. Trust me, you’ll regret not having taken them when you apply to colleges.</p>
<p>Take Calc BC, I don’t think you should take APUSH unless you’re really solid and took a similar workload before.</p>
<p>It’s true that having the most rigorous courseload in your school can have its benefits when admissions officers are selecting from applicants; but this only works if you are getting the highest grades possible in your classes. If taking an extra AP class will negatively impact your GPA,then I would advise against taking that class. Your workload for this year sounds tough already- based on your schedule. Your schedule is very much a personal choice based on what YOU think you can handle.</p>
