<p>I agree that your senior year sounds intense. At our HS it’s suggested that each AP courses will require an average of one hour of homework a night. Of course that could mean that some nights it would be two hours and another none. Four AP’s = 4 hours of homework a night (especially Euro and Gov) will suck all of your time and leave you little time for a life. </p>
<p>I’m not trying to be too parental here, but if you were my kid, I would suggest that you give yourself some time to enjoy HS and not focus so much on what looks good to Colleges.</p>
<p>The thing is senior year is the only year i can take more then one AP. I can only take AP US next year. I don’t have room if I want to take journalism, I would like to be a future journalist. I’d prob only take 3 AP classes senior year and graduate with 6 AP classes. AP World usually takes me about an hour each night when we have reading. </p>
<p>OR </p>
<p>Should I just take dual enrollment my junior and senior year. My sch if I did this: </p>
<p>Junior-
Honors Physics
CP Pre Cal
French 2
<em>everything else at local college</em></p>
<p>Senior-
AP Biology
French III
CP Calculus
<em>everything else at local college</em></p>
<p>I figured I would take my best subjects at the college. I could have 3 AP classes the time I graduate and a lot more dual enrolment OR 6 AP classes? Would the college credit even transfer to schools like NYU, USC, and Northwestern? Also, the AP classes I picked for senior year are the ones I was intrested in and not because of the heck of it. I would never take a math related AP. I am also not sure about what classes I take at high school and at the local college. I’m going to ask my guidance counselor Monday. Also, I had a pretty bad freshman year and I really need to take the sch which will help my GPA but be semi rigorous as well.</p>
<p>Journalism at High school might be fun, but for a journalism major, some serious English and History courses are probably better preparation. And fewer and fewer colleges accept AP credits-- I doubt NYU etc. would. Still I’d do AP English both jr and sr, because it’s the most rigorous and will show your seriousness. And I would definitely not take 4 aps senior year!</p>
<p>I cannot take AP English my junior year. You had to apply to go on the track and I didn’t get in. My teacher said they only let gifted kids in. </p>
<p>What do you guys think about the dual enrollment?</p>
<p>AP Physics B
Journalism (Newspaper)
AP US History
Honors French II
Int Algerba II
Honors Language Arts</p>
<p>I decided I’ll be taking the following my senior year:
AP Psychology
CP Math (don’t know what math yet, maybe Pre Cal)
AP Environmental Science
AP Literature and Composition
Journalism
Honors French III</p>
<p>(I’m taking honors economics/government online)</p>
