Is my schedule going to be too tough to handle for Junior Year?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>Hi guys! Everyone has me TERRIFIED for next year at school.</p>

<p>I go to a selective private school in which only honors or AP courses are offered. There's no regular program, so it forces it's students to take a rough course load.</p>

<p>I've managed to do well at my school and am tied for 1st place in rank with two others in my grade. We're separated by decimal points each quarter in average.</p>

<p>For Junior Year, I chose this schedule:
Honors Chinese II
AP US History
AP Chemistry
Honors Theology III
Honors Advanced Pre-Calculus
Honors Physics
Honors English III</p>

<p>My schedule has a LOT of skeptics in my school. Not a single person in my grade attempted these two APs at once, and nobody in the class of 2014 had either!</p>

<p>Everyone keeps telling me I can't handle taking APUSH work at the same time as AP Chemistry due to the heavy, intensive homework. I self studied for the SAT Chemistry this year and pulled a 750. I feel that my score would imply that I could handle AP Chemistry easily, but everyone has made me feel as though this was a mistake.</p>

<p>Thoughts? Any help is appreciated! I'm nervous as to how my workload will combine with my extracurriculars/SAT I prep/SAT US History and SAT Math II prep. Is there anyone else who took both of these APs at the same time who can share their experience? </p>

<p>Thanks for dealing with my insanity :)</p>

<p>Well I’m taking 7 APs so. ;_;
A lot of my friends take 5 APs Junior year</p>

<p>So, YOU CAN DO IT! and it depends what you want to major in! A lot of people say that colleges don’t really care about history classes unless it has something to do with your major. but Hey! You can do it don’t worry.</p>

<p>It’s very rigorous, but doable. If you think you can handle it, then go for it! I’m also taking AP chem and APUSH next year as a junior in addition to AP English lang (and I think 10-11 other rising juniors are doing this at my school). If you work hard, it shouldn’t be too bad.</p>

<p>Nope. Work hard and you’ll be fine.</p>

<p>Nah bro. Realistically, you can take 17 APs in a year.
Don’t forget to double up on sports every semester and get those 1000 volunteer hours.
Also, publish some research in a major STEM field and perform at carnegie hall too.</p>

<p>But in all seriousness, it’s fine</p>
