Is this a good junior course list?

AP World History
AP Macroeconomics
AP Microeconomics
AP Physics 1
Honors Precalculus
Honors English 11
Computer Programming 1

I’ve only started my first AP this year (AP Gopo) and it’s pretty easy. However I’m not exactly sure if I could manage the courses, especially with ECs. Also is this a schedule with enough rigor, I want to go to MIT or another good school to study Computer Science. Thanks

Where is your foreign language? Are those econ classes two periods?

This seems like a good rigorous schedule to me…but i have the same questions as @IAmNotCreativ

Is APUSH a senior class at your school? At many schools it’s taken junior year and AP WH or AP Euro are taken senior year.
You should be taking foreign language level 3 or 4.

I actually took AP Euro as a sophomore, but in regards to the question, I’d watch out on Physics. It’s an extremely difficult class and I would not recommend taking it unless you are very serious about it. As you stated these are your first APs and as a student that has taken 8 of them, the history classes and sciences have huge work loads. For my class, AP Euro, we had to memorize 150 locations and draw the map of Europe by hand and place all of them on the map accurately. Honors Precalc is not bad, just make sure you practice and I took AP English 11 (Lit and Comp), so I wouldn’t be able to comment on the work load for H. English 11. I would not take all of these if you do not have A’s in all your prerequisite classes, since these are on a much larger scale, especially with your goal of MIT. Hope this helps. :slight_smile:

I’m taking honors spanish 3 this year, not taking it next year. Each econ class has its own period

I took us history honors last year

I’d take either one of the AP ECON classes and save the other for senior year, andnid replace it with another class.

What class would you recommend?

I plan on taking these classes senior year:

AP Computer Science
AP Physics C
AP Calculus BC
AP Statistics
Honors English 12
Microcomputer Technologies
Personal Finance / Business

Replace AP Statistics with one AP Econ senior year. You need a solid social science/history senior year and, if possible, a foreign language through level 4.

How about this:
(Found out econ is one course)
11th
AP Computer Science
AP Econ
AP World History
AP Physics 1
Honors Precalculus
Honors Spanish 4
Honors English 11
12th
AP Physics C
AP Calculus BC
AP Stats
AP Euro
Honors English 12
Microcomputer tech
Personal Finance/ business

Does your school offer AP English Language and/or AP English Literature? Those are very important courses to have, especially Language.

Overall, your schedule is pretty respectable right now; typical of motivated juniors at my school who usually take AP/Dual Enrollments in English, US History, and Science junior year + Honors Trigonometry or Pre-Calculus along with a level 3/4 foreign language and some AP/DE electives.

Would you be able to take US History Honors and AP English senior year, rather than AP World and US English Honors?
Then take either AP Euro or AP World senior year (or AP Econ, instead of taking it junior year).

11th
AP Computer Science
AP English Language
AP Physics 1
Honors Precalculus
Honors Spanish 4
Honors US History
Personal Finance/Business

12th
AP Physics C
AP Calculus BC
AP Euro or World or Econ
Honors English 12
Microcomputer tech


(2 electives)

Yes, my school offers both of those courses, however english is my weakest subject so I don’t think it would be a great choice. Also, I already took US History Honors.

Just curious, it’s already well into October of the school year, how can you switch around your junior year classes as you keep rearranging them on the above posts. Are you a sophomore asking about junior classes next year?

Considering you want to go to MIT and seem to be more science inclined, I suppose having Honors English and US History makes sense; just know that applicants to highly competitive schools have likely taken AP English and APUSH (assuming they have access to them), as well as being several years accelerated in math (such as Pre-Calculus in the 9th grade) so you might be at a disadvantage.
