Sophomore year:
English 2 Honors
Algebra 2 Honors
Spanish 3 Honors
Chemistry Honors
US History Honors => is that a specificity at your school? At most schools, students take US History junior year, and take EITHER US H Honors OR APUSH. Depending on the school, you may take AP WH or AP Euro. AP Euro is more conceptual but is more manageable because it essentially covers 300 years, vs. 5,000 in APWH. Both classes are interesting.
AP Biology => is that something at your school? Often, AP Bio is taken in 11/12th grade because it’s one of the hardest, most time-consuming classes, and generally has chemistry as a pre-req. However it’s possible your HS requires only Honors Bio. Check. I would strongly recommend you leav AP Bio for take AP CS Principles instead of AP Bio anyway.
Junior year:
AP English Language or English 3 Honors
Pre Calculus Honors
Spanish 4 Honors
AP Physics 1
AP US History
AP Chemistry
=> This will be a difficult schedule. Remember that top universities want to see 6-8 AP classes TOTAL over 4 years.
Senior Year:
AP English Literature or English 4 Honors
AP Calculus BC
AP Spanish Language
AP Physics C => Replace with AP Bio. Not needed for premed (you would only do algebra-based physics). Also, it’s better to have AP bio closer to the moment you’ll “retake” it in college.
AP Psychology => you may take Psychology over the summer (any level - AP Psych is an Ap Lite anyway so Psych regular taken over the summer would give you a taste of the psychology class you’ll be required to take in college and which you can’t waive with the AP.) In that case, you could replace with AP Gov (Comp, US)/AP Econ (Macro, Micro) or a combination from both.
Anatomy and Physiology Honors => replace with an Art class. This is NOT needed for premed* and you’ll be glad you have a “fun”, creative class your senior year.
@raventhemage:
Summer School: Biology H => it’s a very important class that doesn’t bear the summer school compression well. Check with current HS students who did it whether it is a good enough foundation.
9th Grade: Chemistry H, Algebra 2 H, Phys Ed, Global Studies 1 H, English 1 H, Spanish 2 H, 9th Grade Art H, Visual Programming H
Summer School: Health (mandatory, but don’t want to take during the year)
=> good
10th Grade: Global Studies 2 H, AP Physics 1,
AP Statistics => don’t break the math sequence; take Precalculus Honors or Math Analysis. If you’re really into Math, take AP Stats as a complement.
Phys Ed, English 2 H, Spanish 3 H, Human Anatomy and Physiology H, Art 1 H
=> I’d take AP CS Principles rather than A&P unless you want to go into nursing or a pre-PA direct admit program. Alternatives would include AP Psych.
11th Grade: AP Biology, Math Analysis and Trigonometry H (precalc),
=> AP Calc AB? See whether your school has an AB-BC sequence for 11th and 12th graders, or whether it’s either AB OR BC (in which case BC also covers the AB content, in accelerated fashion)
Phys Ed, APUSH, AP English Lang, Spanish 4 H, AP Chemistry, Art 2 H
=> you can’t take AP Chem and AP Bio together.Those are among the hardest, most time-consuming AP Science classes. In fact, some high schools won’t let you take both together.
Switch one of these wih APES, which is an “AP lite”, or AP Psychology or AP Stats or AP CS Principles (more time-consuming than APES/AP Psych/AP Stats, but less so than AP Bio/AP Chem.)
12th Grade: AP Environmental Science, AP Calculus BC, Phys Ed, AP USGP, Heroes and Monsters: Classic British Literature H, AP Spanish, AP Economics, Art 3 H
=> switch APES for one of the two AP sciences (bio or chem) you didn’t choose in 11th grade.
