Is my schedule for junior year okay?

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>I want to be a history teacher and I have been in all honors freshman and sophomore year, but now am dropping down to two college prep classes. I am still replacing some with APs, but how bad does that look?</p>

<p>AP US History 2
AP English
Honors Spanish
Physics
PreCalc
Honors Constitutional Law
Political Science
Holocaust Studies</p>

<p>Thanks for the help! I just don't want to ruin my chances at good colleges because of my schedule!</p>

<p>That depends on what you mean by “good” colleges. Ivy league? Definitely more APs. Well, definitely more APs for any college, really. My attitude is, why not take the classes when they cost $87 as opposed to thousands of dollars? But it looks like a pretty solid schedule. You can always take more APs in your senior year.</p>

<p>If your school offers more APs take another one, other then that it seems fine (maybe consider honors math or science though).</p>

<p>That’s so cool you have a Political Science as a class. Thats going to be one of my majors :):).</p>

<p>Your school offers a hell of a lot more classes than mine. Political Science and Constitutional Law sound awesome lol. </p>

<p>To answer your question, I think your schedule is pretty good in terms of rigor and maintaining sanity. English (Lit or Lang) is a fairly simple AP, and APUSH is flat memorization. I enjoy history, so I liked it a lot. The rest looks pretty decent.</p>

<p>So many awesome electives :(</p>

<p>Unfortunately, my school only offers about 5 APs to juniors and I really want to focus on history this year, so my math/science course levels are easy (I had horrible teachers and many ppl were not requested for honors again and they ran out of space in the honors classes because the lower level kids were all suggested to move up). I love history SOOOOOO much that I choose to spend my free time learning about it, so I hope my schedule supports my passion.</p>

<p>When I mean good colleges, I do not mean Ivy. So far my favorites are Gettysburg College, the University of Richmond, and the College of William and Mary.</p>
