Is this a good 4-year schedule for high school?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>I'm a HS senior, but I'm wondering if I've made the best decisions I could have with scheduling in high school. I've had a lot of AP classes, but not as many as some people on here, and I ended up taking a few classes that were kinda useless.</p>

<p>So what I'm asking is, could you guys judge my schedule as if it was a freshman's plan for the future? I'm just curious if I could have done better in high school, so this could help me in planning for college. </p>

<p>The format for these is (First Semester / Second Semester). If there are no dashes, then the class lasted for both semesters. </p>

<p>This schedule is very good - you look to be a gifted student who enjoys challenges. I have taken/am taking many of the same AP courses myself, and the only change I would have made is I would have taken AP Calculus since you took Precalc. Also, your performance in these classes, especially those of the honors and AP level, are an important factor. But on the whole, I don’t think you have much to regret. Good luck with your future endeavors!!!</p>

<p>It’s a great schedule and you should feel really good about all the hard work you’ve put in. For what it’s worth, my son will graduate in June with only two APs under his belt and he’s been accepted to some really amazing schools. It’s not always about who takes the hardest classes…often it’s more about who presents with the most well-rounded one. Good luck!</p>
