Hi everyone , so most of the upcoming juniors might be done with selecting their courses for junior year but I’m having trouble with mine. I had a set schedule but my guidance tech wouldn’t approve of it and told me to go see her before the school year ends and see if we can compromise. I’m interested in the sciences so AP classes would allow me to take more science class however our school also offers IB and some of my friends are doing the diploma and applying to similar schools I want to go to (Berkeley , UCI, and other UC’s). Should I do the diploma to raise my chances of attending the school I want to go to and be as competitive as my classmates? If I chose not to do IB I would have a free period (study hall) and would probably get a part-time job. I’m also required to to stay in my schools Business Program which is why I have some Business Classes on my schedule. Any Advice is appreciated thanks!
