Junior Year Schedule

Pre-College Issues High School Life

Hi! So I am going to be a junior, and I am wondering what schedule looks good for my junior year. For reference, here were my schedules for freshmen and sophomore year:

Freshmen:
Honors Algebra 2
Honors Geometry
Biology
Honors English
Honors US History 2
French 1
Gym/Health
Band

Sophomore:
AP Statistics
Honors Pre-Calculus/Trigonometry
AP Environmental Science
Chemistry 1/2
Honors English
Honors US History 3
French 2
Band

Now, I’m not sure what to schedule. I want to major in either English/Psychology. Here are the classes I’m definitely going to take:

AP Calculus AB
AP English
Honors World Cultures
French 3
Health
Band

I’m not sure about which science to take. I don’t even have to take a science technically because I got all of my credits for them. Should I take AP Physics? I’m not even going to use it for any of those majors, so why would I? And would it look bad if I didn’t take another AP (Science)? Additionally, should I take another English class (Journalism) since I’m interested in English?

TLDR: Should I take an AP science course (have taken one previously—would it look bad if I didn’t take one) if I want to major in psychology or English? Or should I take a regular science/no science?

Take H or regular physics. Do not skip science. Most colleges want some level of bio, chem and physics.

I would say honors physics because colleges are looking for rigor, and assuming your school doesn’t offer AP psychology, I’d say journalism is a good class because it fits with the rest of your profile.
If your school does offer AP psych, I think junior year is the best year to take it, that way you can self report your score if you do well.

Journalism sounds like a good class to have for someone who wants to major in the Humanities. You may replace this with AP seminar if your school offers it.
If you want to get rid of a science class in college and think you can get a B in it, take AP Physics 1. Otherwise take regular or honors physics.
If you take regular physics you may want to see if your school offers ap european history or ap modern world history to replace World Cultures.
Could be junior or senior year though.
