<p>AP Bio., AP Calc., AP Physics, Honors Span. 4, and Honors English (I am looking specifically at UPenn, Cornell, and Columbia.) I can take AP Psychology and have the opportunity to take AP English as well.</p>
<p>It is silly to think that any specific set of courses would be appropriate for any specific group of schools. All APs and Honors are good for ANY school.</p>
<p>I don’t know if I would be able to handle my courseload if I added AP Psych to the mix but I am considering changing AP Physics to AP Psych and then adding on Honors Human Anatomy and Physiology. Yeah, so, would a schedule of AP Bio, AP Calc., AP Psych, Honors Span 4, Honors English, and Honors Human Anatomy and Physiology be considered more challenging than the one I mentioned in my original post?</p>
<p>I have heard from several people on this site that A.P. Psych is really not all that hard. If I were you, I would take it along with the other A. P. classes, but It would be better to get good grades in the easier set than getting Bs in the harder one.</p>
<p>Wherever you have the option to take AP, you should definitely do so. It will show not only your ability to handle a challenge but also you are willing to take on it. You should definitely take AP English though. The difference in actual coursework between Honors English and AP English, I would assume, is not that big, but that you took the AP says something.</p>
<p>Yeah.. English is really not my thing though.. although I do have a tendency to write pretty good research papers…</p>
<p>“so, would a schedule of AP Bio, AP Calc., AP Psych, Honors Span 4, Honors English, and Honors Human Anatomy and Physiology be considered more challenging than the one I mentioned in my original post?”
Depends on your major. If you are doing anything engineering related, stick to physics.
Natural Sciences- Stick to physics
Social Sciences- Psych (no brainer, hahaha)
Humanities- Are you sure you can’t handle AP English?</p>
<p>I have a schedule question also. I got to a College Prep school, and APs are not easy at all. Extremely rigorous. That’s why I’m a bit nervous that I don’t have enough APs, I mean I’ve seen kids from Public Schools with about 7 APs, which is physically impossible for a kid from my school. I took the most in our school’s history with six this year, and I almost died. Well you know what I mean.</p>
<p>This is my schedule for next year:</p>
<p>AP Calc BC
AP European History
AP Art History
AP Physics
AP Physics Lab Period
Advanced Honors Studies in Drawing & Painting
Honors English 12 & Creative Writing
Yearbook (Editor-in Chief)</p>
<p>I’m nervous about not taking AP English, but I know for a fact I won’t be able to handle it. Or should I say that I will be able to handle it, but my grades won’t nearly be as good.</p>
<p>bump

<p>I know kids who graduated wih under 5 APs who got into Harvard, Stanford, Princeton, MIT, Cal Tech, and Duke. o_O you’re fine.</p>
<p>mallika: Can you make your own thread instead of hijacking mine?</p>
<p>that is so slacking.</p>
<p><em>statement dripping with sarcasm</em></p>
<p>Yeah, so, do you guys think I should take #1 or #2? (my grades with either schedule probably will not be that different)
- AP Calc., AP Bio, AP Physics, Honors Span 4., Marketing and Honors Eng</p>
<p>2) AP Calc., AP Bio, AP Psych., Honors Span 4, Honors Eng, Marketing and Honors Anatomy and Physiology</p>
<p>You should definitely take physics. Any good college expects it as understand physics is important for future studies in many areas.</p>
<p>The first as I would agree that Physics is fairly important to take in high school. Which physics exam? A, B, or C?</p>
