Is this schedule going to be too much? (Junior year)

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

Hi guys,

I am taking three courses through my high school and 9 credits through a local community college as a sophomore. I currently have all As in all of my college courses and in two of three of my high school courses (one B). I have already started to plan my courses for junior year, and was wondering if it would be too big of a jump.

AP Macroeconomics/AP Government

College Courses:
General Chemistry II/General Chemistry III (both 5 credits each)
-General Biology/Organismal Biology (both 4 credits each)
-Multivariable Calc./Linear Algebra (4 credits each)
-College Writing/Intermediate Spanish III (3 credits each)

What college courses are you taking now?
When do you have to decide?
I would wait to see your final grades of this semester before you choose.

It is important to do well in these classes more than it is important to take as many college courses as possible.

What college courses are you currently enrolled in?

4

Calculus I, Pre-General Chemistry, and Art History. I meant to write 12 credits, my apologies.

I have until June to decide.

I would tell you not to take to sciences at once, but I did. It’s a lot of work but if you’re good at science you’ll be able to handle it. I took general chem and physics together which was a lot of math. General chem and bio together will be a lot of memorization. If you consider science and memorization to be strong suits you should be ok, otherwise drop one.

I would take General Chemistry II in the Fall and take General Biology in the Spring.
Then, as planned,
-Multivariable Calc./Linear Algebra (4 credits each)
-College Writing/Intermediate Spanish III (3 credits each) - perhaps in the reverse order
and a funky art class and an interesting Humanities/Social science class.
