Is this too tough for senior year??

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>I had schedule planning day today and I am wondering if this is way too tough for my senior year next year. I am taking 5 AP's this year and I have gotten barely A's this year in all of them (but straight A's :D).</p>

<ol>
<li>AP English Literature</li>
<li>AP Microeconomics Alt./ AP Macroeconomics Alt.</li>
<li>AP Calculus AB</li>
<li>AP Spanish Language</li>
<li>AP Art History (still deciding whether I should take it or take AP Psych or some college course offered in my school)</li>
<li>Advanced Research 12/ AP Comparative Government Alt.</li>
<li>AP Biology</li>
<li>Lab/ Gym</li>
<li>Free period!! (finally after 3 years of no free period)</li>
</ol>

<p>What do you think guys? Is this just torture for senior year that I should just drop one of the classes?</p>

<p>What do you want to major in later? I originally was going to take AP English but then I realized, “why take a hard English class if I want to go into pre-med?” I am now taking AP Bio, Physics H, and Advanced Health… with regular English.</p>

<p>Here’s my senior year schedule:

  1. AP English Literature
  2. AP Computer Science
  3. AP Physics C
  4. Physics and Calc Lab
  5. AP Calc BC
  6. AP Econ (Micro and Macro)
  7. AP Bio
  8. Lab/Gym
  9. Off Period (First off period in a while) I might do AP World. I have to see. </p>

<p>If I can do it, so can you :D. </p>

<p>It is unnecessary torture.</p>

<p>Maybe other schools work different than mine, but I cannot fathom how people pull off good grades in 5+ APs in a school year and get any sleep, do activities, and maintain any level of sanity…</p>

<p>Your motivation is probably going to drop senior year. You’ll also be busy applying for colleges and scholarships. Personally I would drop at least one AP class from your list, but I can’t speak for you since I’m sure your situation is very different.</p>
