<p>Hey guys, I was wondering if my schedule would be considered rigorous enough for consideration of top notch colleges.</p>
<p>junior year: AP Eng and lang, chem and U.S. H</p>
<p>senior year: AP Gov, lit, stat and physics C
(also self studying psychololgy ap)</p>
<p>Thanks for your time!</p>
<p>farrrrrrrrrr from rigorous</p>
<p>No math?? = No rigor.</p>
<p>Use up all of your available periods/blocks.</p>
<p>Seems plenty rigourous to me…</p>
<p>Just be sure to check the reccommended course load suggested by whatever colleges you might be applying to (like, being reccomended to take four years of a language, or up to a certain point in Math, etc) and try to get close to or exceed that.</p>
<p>If that’s all your school offers then self-study some more. Most colleges regardless of major like to see AP Calculus. AP Stats might be a decent sub, but it varies from college to college. What AP’s did you take soph/frosh?</p>
<p>But if your school doesn’t offer a certain AP course, don’t stress on sweating it. A lot of the colleges you apply to will mostly see whether or not you made the most of the courses that were made available to you.</p>
<p>If AP calculus isn’t offered at your school, it isn’t a problem. Just take the other AP exams to show you are taking all the APs offered. My school didn’t offer AP bio or AP stats or AP Psychology, and people were still accepted to fine UCs and a few Ivies.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t really worry rigor, taking a few APs like 3+ is fine. Universities know students that are over-achievers, they look for that too, but they also look for students that do more than just take “difficult” classes. If your schedule has some free space, might as well take a free period (if that is offered) and do some ECs or get involved in a project of your specialization or even start a organization. These things will affect your college decision than someone with 6+ APs in their senior year. Of course I am generalizing a bit here, but I wouldn’t exactly say STRESS yourself, it’s not necessary anymore. </p>
<p>Plus, your are taking enough classes to imply you are having a rigorous course load! Any more than 4 + self study is enough. People on CC are just elitist in some aspects. Don’t sweat it.</p>
<p>Don’t ask CC kids what qualifies as “rigorous.” If kids at your school hear your schedule and say, “Damn, I don’t know how you manage to do that,” you’re fine.</p>
<p>At my school, that’s 5 AP classes. I’ll be taking 8 next year, but that’s because I actually want to learn the material, not because I want to impress an admissions officer.</p>
<p>ya thats enough…colleges dont care if you take 6 AP classes or 3 AP classes…you should take AP classes to challenge yourself and not just do it for colleges.</p>
