Last Minute Course Selection - AP English Lang?

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>Hey, I'm currently a sophomore and was wondering what you guys think of my schedule next year? I would consider the classes I took the last two years to be basically "most rigorous possible". (Not many honors courses at my school, but I guess technically I could have replaced Band with AP Comp Sci; does that count?)</p>

<p>This is what I'm thinking for Junior year (max seven classes):</p>

<p>American Lit
AP Gov/Econ
AP Calc BC
Physics H
AP Comp Sci
Band
+Two CC courses (US History; fall and winter quarters probably)</p>

<p>ECs
Marching Band (Fall) - 6 hours a week on weekdays and basically all of Saturday
Key Club/Service (more just for fun, I don't anywhere near to the 1000 hours of service some people have)
Track (Spring; I don't know if I'll do it next year yet)
Piano (possibly entering a few competitions next year)</p>

<p>The only thing I would consider changing at this point is American Lit to AP English Lang, but it's really worrying me. I'm graduating early in order to study abroad in Germany (hopefully CBYX scholarship), so this would be my last year of "real" high school and I feel like since I'm skipping Senior year I should completely load up on the hardest courses possible. Do you guys think it would be too busy? AP Gov/Econ is considered super easy; AP Comp Sci should be easy-ish. I'm aiming for at least Berkeley (Engineering/Science/Math/Econ), and of course some random reaches past that. Thanks!</p>

<p>If you're going to graduate early then I say take it. If I were you though I would drop the CC courses and take APEL instead. But make sure it's language. If it's Lit then obviously drop the lit course. I took Am Lit this year though and I must say it was pretty awesome and I would pity anybody who had to miss it.</p>

<p>It is AP English Language, but I have to take the CC courses to graduate early. Do you still suggest it? :T Oh, and I should be done with all of my SATs by October.</p>

<p>Hmm. I really think it's a good course to take. I would definitely recommend it over American Lit just because it is a writing course.</p>

<p>Ok thanks; I changed it today. A fun junior year is in store. o.O</p>
