Is this a solid schedule for top schools (not ivies)

Pre-College Issues High School Life

So to keep it brief the tier of school I’m looking at is around Georgetown, NYU, George Washington University, and other major city political schools that are ranked respectively well. I’m going to be a senior next year and I’m wondering what my schedule looks like to other ambitious students to see how it stacks up.

Senior Year:
AP: English Literature
AP: French Language (my 6th year of french, 2nd time taking AP course, as is highest level of french offered at school)
AP: US Government and Politics
AP: Environmental Science
AP: Physics B/ AP: Physics 2 (Online)
High School Calculus (A little more advanced than AP with no weighted credit covers multivariate and def equations)
Honors Journalism 3rd year (Staff Editor and co curricular with Quill and Scroll National Honor Society)
Honors Economics (Online)

I feel like this is the hardest schedule I *can take, however, the most rigorous at my school would be AP: Economics (Micro and Macro Full Year course Online), and AP: Calculus BC subbed in. (However, I’m kind of struggling in AP: Calc AB and not sure if BC will go so well). Also my school requires 7 classes and I’m taking an extra class AP: Physics which isn’t required or offerred which I hope looks well, but with a study hall meaning that I’m taking 6 academic classes and will have 1 block to do my 2 online classes next year. Overall, I’m just looking for your opinions if my schedule is on track for the schools I’m looking at and if it will be significantly advantageous to increase the difficulty a bit with the potential of burning out. Thank you again for your responses.

classes are fine, tbh it looks like you already know the answer.

Why are you taking AP French for a second time? If you want to continue beyond that, you should try an upper intermediate/Advanced class at a local college, but no one would fault you for not finding one. It’d be a differentiator for top schools, but since you have the AP class, you’re good. Unless your teacher treats this class as an independent study and you’ll be doing extensive readings, writing papers about films or historical periods or novels…?
It’s a very rigorous schedule.

@MYOS1634 I think there are two AP French classes. I might be wrong. There is a Spanish Lit and Spanish Lang, both AP classes. OP situation might be similar to the one I described.

The schedule is very rigorous and your schedule is on track.

This schedule is good for both top schools and ivies.

Please be aware that Physics B no longer exists and has been replaced with Physics 1 and 2, so taking Physics 2 would be like taking half of physics B.

Roger, I’ve taken Physics 1 this year.
