<p>I took AP US History, Language, Physics C, Chemistry, and a concurrent-enrollment discrete math course in my junior year, and somehow I lived. And I know for sure there’s people on here who put my schedule to shame. College Confidential is famous for its over-achievers.</p>
<p>I took a junior year schedule similar in rigor and survived without undue stress and many in my school did likewise. It’s not overload, but just be ready for a decent amount of work outside of class.</p>
<p>@cheese123211 Not sure if you’re kidding or what, but being someone who isn’t close to fluent in that language PLUS having a variety of other AP classes will definitely cut off AP Latin as a French… plus at our school, AP language is only available to honor students at grade 12, otherwise, you would have to do a speaking/writing test for it.</p>
<p>I can’t see your schedule, but anyway, I took 7 or 8 classes senior year of HS. </p>
<p>The thing is, those 7/8 classes were a breeze compared to the 4 I took each quarter while in college (as a CS major in the engineering school of an Ivy-equivalent).</p>
<p>There are some college classes that require roughly 25 hours of work a week (there’s also one that required roughly 40 hours of work a week, but I didn’t take that one).</p>

Well cheap college credit.
And you can enjoy the wonderful tactics of abusing the system to death and AP classes aren’t actually that bad in my opinion. Just have to BS the homework, learn from the review books instead of the actual textbooks, optimize your efforts in the areas that will give you the most points to get the minimal A so that you don’t over-dedicate yourself to classes. The only hard AP class is English when 95% of the grade is essays and the teacher hardly gives out A’s unless you are a good enough writer to pull an 8-9 on AP scale.
If you want competitive, make everything AP English. Or take math/physics competition level problems for tests and watch people go insane with their GPAs taking burns. </p>
<p>Hmm… never thought this to be normal as I always see threads complaining about how their school doesn’t offer these courses and such… >_> it’s nice to know I’m not the only one though~</p>
<p>I did a really intense schedule freshman year, and after the severe depression that followed, I copped out.
This is my junior year schedule:
Honors Pre-Calc
AP US History
Honors American Literature
AP Spanish Language
Master Singers
Dual enrollment at local university for Bio
My schedule is actually pretty freed up to allow for 2 hours of study hall. I mean, I quite frankly don’t want to load up. Too much stress. Besides, I have some big projects going on outside of school that I want to devote more time too. </p>
<p>Calc BC is the only class u have listed that 11th graders don’t typically take lol. My school isn’t even that competitive and this schedule doesn’t look that out of the ordinary for an 11th grader. Also chill with the “Every asian takes schedules like this”</p>
<p>@DAIMYO why “chill”, if it is a fact. We have a facebook group dedicated to our class of 2016 and everyone has posted their schedules, so I don’t see a problem?</p>
<p>Additionally, we have GA Tech math available here 11th/12th grade</p>
