Hello all! I got schedule requests today and I have to turn it in on Monday! So soon! I’d like advice on the classes I hope to take and if you have any suggestions/alterations I should make please let me know!!
For junior year I would like to take the following classes:
AP English Lang
AP Seminar
AP Calc BC
AP Physics 1
AP Environmental Science
US History honors
Woodshop 2
Is this too rigorous? I’m super interested in all of these classes (except history… but I’m mandated to take that). I want to major in some sort of engineering, probably civil/environmental.
Let me know if you have any advice! 
It’s a very good schedule.
Do you think you’ll be able to handle it? That means, not cutting on sleep (8-9 hours a night).
If not, cut AP seminar .
@MYOS1634 I think I’ll be able to manage it… I’m taking 3 AP’s this year (Calc, chem, world) and I’m doing pretty well. I’ve also heard that APES and physics are relatively easy. Thank you!
Anyone else?
It shouldn’t be that difficult. What is ap seminar and why don’t you take apush?
If you are doing well now and feel like you can manage these classes next year with any EC’s and SAT/ACT exams, then you should be fine. Junior year is important for a strong GPA, stay focused.
@maxim2001 AP Seminar is a writing/research intensive class. I got recommended for it by my teachers. I think I’m making the decision not to take APUSH because I really hate AP World this year and I’m really struggling in it. I also think with the other AP classes I could use a non-AP.
@jcmom716 Thank you! I’m definitely prepared to work and study hard, I’ve heard that junior year is the most important in the eyes of colleges.
Where’s your foreign language? If you want to go to a selective college, they will require about 3 to 4 years of a foreign language.
@davidyekwonkim I’m taking Spanish 3 this year, and there’s no way I’m going to take any more spanish since the class comes so difficult to me at even this level.
With Spanish 3 you cover th ebare minimum but be ready to take 1-2 semesters of it in college.
So my AP world teacher came up to me today and said she thought I would do well in APUSH and that she thinks I;d be able to take it… Given the rest of my schedule, should I try APUSH or stick with my original honors?
I wouldn’t. Just because you can do well in that class taken separately from all others, doesn’t mean you can take 6 Ap’s.
Also, I thought you didn’t especially like history?
@MYOS1634 Ok I won’t then, I really don’t like History.
I think overall your schedule looks pretty solid, but if you want to reduce writing/reading intensive homework then probably cut off one from AP Seminar, APUSH, or AP Lang (I would cut APUSH if you rlly don’t like it) But other than that looks solid to me just work hard! I’m taking a similar course load next year, minus the APUSH
^^ didn’t realize it was honors us history! In that case your schedule looks great
