Hey! Any opinions from any graduating seniors or rising seniors on my schedule? Btw, I want to go to a school like Johns Hopkins or Duke.
AP Chemistry
AP Environmental Science
AP Lang
AP World H
Honors Precalculus
Latin 1 (already finished 4 years of Spanish)
Art Foundations (need an art credit)
Why 2 sciences?
@easyalesseffort I have a general question : Why does everyone on CC target people with two science classes?
@easyalesseffort I want to go into a STEM career. I also really like environmental science.
My daughter had three science classes senior year. AP chem, AP physics C, and H organic chem (intended major - chem E) and I think the STEM focused programs seemed to respond well to that. (She doubled up on math and science junior year as well). I think you just need to know that an LAC or a school that has a lot of gen ed requirements probably wont love that approach but those weren’t the schools my daughter was targeting.
It’s a very strong, rigorous schedule that has balance and shows a definite academic interest. So, it’s a very good schedule if you can handle it 
Thanks for your input!
The OP’s situation doesn’t seem to be anything that needs to be questioned; Chem + Environmental should not be a problem, but it’s usually not a good idea to double up on the major lab sciences (AP Biology, AP Chemistry, and AP Physics C), assuming a student is already taking advanced courses in other subjects. Those classes are each “equivalent” to two college classes in their respective disciplines, plus their labs. This is why a 5 on an exam for one of them usually leads to an award of eight to ten college credits at colleges that accept AP credit.
For example, AP Chemistry is supposed to be General Chemistry I and General Chemistry II + and both of their respective labs. AP Biology is supposedly equivalent to General Biology I, General Biology II, General Biology I lab, and General Biology II lab. If a student takes AP Biology and AP Chemistry concurrently, technically, this equates to taking eight college science classes/labs in the same year on top of standardized test prep and extracurricular activities.
I’m sure that doubling up on very rigorous sciences is attractive to a handful of highly prestigious, STEM-oriented programs, but I would venture to guess that for the vast majority of colleges, doing so is not necessary to demonstrate course rigor. For the record, I’ve taken both AP Biology and AP Chemistry (earned a 5 on the AP Biology exam and took Chemistry this year) and I would not want to take them both at the same time.
Do you have AP Spanish?
Yes, but I don’t really want to take it because I am a native speaker. Instead, I will be taking the SAT Spanish subject Test in August and might also be taking CLEP for Spanish.
ALl STEM majors should have four sciences on their schedules.
@NASA2014 I will be taking AP Physics 1 senior year
