Junior Year Scheduling

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>So, I'm going to be a junior next year, and as basically everyone on this board is doing, am in the process of scheduling.</p>

<p>Option #1:
AP Calc AB
AP Bio
Physics
Honors English 11
Law / AP American Gov't
French 2</p>

<p>Option #2:
AP Calc AB
AP Bio
AP World History (independent study)
Honors English 11
Law / AP American Gov't
French 2</p>

<p>Keep in mind that I'm not a math/science person, would only take apbio and physics at the same time so that I don't have to take a science senior year (and would therefore have time to take a two-hour humanities coures), and am going to have 12+ semesters of social studies credit before I graduate. By the way, I took Chemistry freshman year and am taking Biology this year (my school doesn't have honors science classes, only ap or regular).</p>

<p>I really would like to do AP World History (I find history incredibly interesting & am loving APUSH this year) but don't know if only having three years of science would look bad for top-tier colleges (I'm looking at the University of Chicago, the University of Michigan, Columbia University, & several liberal arts schools).</p>

<p>Sorry for the long entry, and thanks in advance!</p>

<p>My school is so slow. We probably won't get registration forms till the end of March.</p>

<p>Your first option looks best. Hardly any colleges accept AP World credit; to me it isn't worth self-studying for an AP exam. You could study it for fun though :D. </p>

<p>I've taken Law (first sem.) and am taking AP US Govt (second sem.), and both are really fun classes. We had so many debates in law class. AP Govt. is very fast-paced though, so keep on top of the work for that class.</p>

<p>As for teh three years of science concern, it looks okay to me. You still took 4 science classes..</p>
