<p>Suggestions??</p>
<p>Okay, those are a lot of APs. Do you really want to do AP Calc and AP Stats together? Those classes require some time outside of class and so does AP US History. AP Lang isn’t so bad so definitely keep that. But I think you should reconsider taking so many APs, unless you are absolutely sure you can handle it. Are you doing any ECs? Sports, clubs, etc.? </p>
<p>@AnImpAffliction </p>
<p>At my school, it is normal to take AP Calculus (AP or BC) with AP Statistics. AP US isn’t that bad for many at my school either. If I drop any APs, I will just have free blocks (which can be beneficial). I do participate in Scholastic Bowl, Model UN, Spanish Club and French Club, Spanish Honor Society, French Honor Society, Friendship Club (a club that help the special ed students), and Garden Club. I really hate my schools electives, so I have only taken foreign language and AP electives in high school.</p>
<p>What are your career goals/intended college major?</p>
<p>All those schedules look scary af</p>
<p>Depending on your career goals and your actual interests beyond having an AP on your schedule should determine which schedule </p>
<p>I think it is unnecessary to take AP French and Spanish IV. Choose one of the two. </p>
<p>Those schedules all look the same. </p>
<p>I plan to double major in Political Science and International Relations, and then I intend to become a Foreign Service Officer (diplomat). I have already taken AP Psychology, AP Human Geography, AP Microeconomics, and AP Macroeconomics (those relate to my field in some way).</p>

<p>I need to be proficient in both French and Spanish before I go to college so that I can focus on studying Arabic and Chinese in college. The more languages that I master, the greater asset I become in my field. So I can not choose one of the two. Those classes are the easiest classes that I will take. I need some bird courses in my schedule.</p>
<p>@mubaracus</p>
<p>My school doesn’t offer any courses near my major or career choice other than AP. AP classes are actually easier for me since I am more motivated due to the challenge. I can also start college taking mostly junior level courses and focus more on my major (and save money).</p>
<p>@SwaggyC</p>
<p>They are basically the same courses; however, the science and mathematics courses are arranged differently between my Junior and Senior years</p>
<p>For Junior Year option 2, the AP Chemistry is supposed to say AP Statistics.</p>
<p>@TengoQueSaber I’d go with schedule 1. </p>
<p>Thanks @SwaggyC I was leaning towards that option, but I wasn’t sure.</p>
