<p>Okay so these are the courses I plan on taking next year. My school has 8 periods per a day.</p>
<p>1- Honors Algebra II
2- Gym (required)
3- Italian IV Honors
4- Chemistry
5- College English III
6- Business Law
7- *<em>AP Government and Politics
8- *</em>US History II</p>
<p>Truth is I really don't want to take US History again because I took it this year. However, I need to check with the school to see if this course is required. <em>IF</em> US History II is required than I will do AP instead of regulars. Also, if this is required I will drop AP Government and Politics and take that senior year. </p>
<p>I'm also thinking about taking Honors Chemistry next year. I know you aren't in the same school as me, but do you the workload is heavy? With 3 other honors/AP classes I don't want to add another class and then negatively effect my GPA.</p>
<p>I'm not taking a lunch either. If I were to take Honors Chemistry then I'm pretty sure I would have to take a lunch or have a study hall for lab days.</p>
<p>Long story short: does this sound like a schedule that an Ivy league college would approve of?</p>
<p>I guess it’s pretty solid. Depending what area of studies you want to go in, opinions might vary a bit. It’s a good schedule for a liberal arts college. I think it’s just important to get as many APs as possible. </p>
<p>(I can’t give really good opinions on this because I want to get in MIT/Caltech, so I’m on a really rigorous science track with 3 science APs and Calc BC this year instead. But I think it’s really good that you have these humanities subjects at such a stellar level. Feel free to email me or PM me for any other questions.)</p>
<p>Dude, rack up on more APs man.
This is what I’m doing Junior year.
Differential Equations and Complex Analysis (A.P. weighted)
AP Chemistry (Double Block)
AP Computer Science A
Academic English III
Honors Wind Ensemble
Physical Education 11
AP Psychology</p>
<p>I’m not sure about how it works in your school, but I’m in honors chemistry as a sophomore and it’s easy. Seriously. I would definitely recommend taking it, although I would talk to a few students as to how the workload is at your school, because at mine, the only real homework is studying for relatively easy tests and lab notebooks.</p>
<p>How many AP classes does your school offer? How many have you already taken and how many do you plan to take in your senior year? If your school only offers a few AP classes and this is one of the most challenging schedules someone could take, then it’s fine. Otherwise it’s not. </p>
<p>It looks like you’ll only make it to pre-calculus next year. Will you take calculus in high school? Could you take an honors or AP English class? Will you take physics before the end of high school?
Definitely take honors chemistry. I would also recommend taking APUSH instead of US History II.</p>
<p>I rearranged some classes… thoughts?</p>
<ul>
<li>Italian IV Honors</li>
<li>Honors Accounting</li>
<li>AP US History II</li>
<li>Honors Chemistry</li>
<li>Physical Education / Health</li>
<li>Honors Algebra II</li>
</ul>
<h2>- College English III</h2>
<p>and then I’m so confused on what to put in my last space. New feedback?</p>
<p>Uhm… I think you’re good. Can you take more APs (if you can handle it)? I think a student with half regular classes and half APs looks better than all honors but I could be completely off. What do you enjoy? Take an AP in that subject for your extra space. Here’s what I took Junior year(S=semester course):
AP Biology
AP Gov (S)–did not do well haha
Econ (S)
AP Calc AB
AP Stats (S)
Honors Java smartphone apps (S)
PE/Health (S)
AP English Lang
AP French</p>
<p>I can’t take any AP science classes until I complete Chemistry and Algebra II in my school. Also I can’t take any AP math classes until senior year after I finish Algebra II. I plan on doubling up and taking Honors Calculus and AP Statistics. I can’t take AP English because my school offers it only to seniors.</p>
<p><strong>Rant</strong>Honestly I feel limited in what AP courses I can take. I really didn’t push myself in my schedule in math or science freshman and sophomore year. And now while I’m making my junior year schedule I realize how limited my choices in AP classes are because I didn’t really care in the beginning of high school. I wish I would have; there’s nothing I can do except enroll in challenging classes offered to me and hope for the best. <strong>Rant over</strong></p>
<p>Try to climax your junior year- it’s the most important year to colleges. Stack it up to the absolute maximum. Here is what I did for my junior year:</p>
<p>-AP Chem/Physics
-APUSH
-Honors Advanced Topics in Math with Chaos Theory
-AP Spanish and AP Latin
-AP English
-AP Java </p>
<p>In addition, I self studied and then took exam at end of year:
-AP Psychology
-AP Bio
-AP Enviro Science
-AP Gov</p>
<p>It takes a lot of time, but stacking this amount up to the absolute limit is what colleges will see as competitive and overdrive.</p>
<p>Depending on how my schedule works out I might have to drop something. Should I double up my junior year and take two regular sciences (chemistry and physics) OR should I take Honors Chemistry junior year and take Honors Physics senior year? Which one would look better to colleges?</p>
<p>-Italian IV Honors
-AP US History
-AP Government and Politics
-College English III
-Algebra II (contemplating honors)
-Honors Chemistry
-Honors Accounting
-Gym (mandatory)</p>
