<p>My classes were all really easy.</p>
<p>Just curiuos, but which is harder: complex analysis or differential equations?</p>
<p>I'd say complex equations. Burn!</p>
<p>Honors Physics
AP Psych
AP English Lang
APUSH
AP Spanish Lang
Desktop Published - required course
Pre-Calc</p>
<p>I thought it was hard until I found this site :)</p>
<p>Complex analysis is a much more advanced course.</p>
<p>Just adding my schedule: </p>
<p>Math Analysis(Before Calc BC)
English 11(school doesn't let anyone take AP)
AP Chem
AP US History
AP Comp Sci
Physics
Newspaper Journalism</p>
<p>AP Cal AB (self study for BC...w000T!)
AP World
AP Physics C (have to self-study E&M part....)</p>
<p>I took AP Spanish last year and AP Human Geo last year (no test for AP Sp. cause there's anotehr AP Span in 12th grade....)</p>
<p>my junior classes are...</p>
<p>AP Art History
Pre-AP Calculus
AP Psychology
AP Biology
Band V
AP English Language
Chemistry I Honors
AP United States History</p>
<p>ihateCA, for me at least I took physics before chemistry, and loved physics but hated chemistry. Too much memorization and useless stuff in chemistry, things were much more visible and problem-oriented in physics. Also, I think English/languages/etc and sci/math/tech both have their uses, but I do find it to be the case that you don't actually learn much in the English ones, just "develop skills" or some such thing you could also do by individual practice and thinking, but with sci and math there are real things taught. Eh, just my $0.02</p>
<p>Basically get 9-12 APs by grad</p>
<p>ehh, most schools don't allow for that many since there are so many prereqs and graduation reqs.</p>
<p>MOST DEF AP BIO!!!!!!!
and AP french should technically be hard, but my school's french program sucks like... <censored> so its dumb. all we do is coyp vocab from teh book and hav stupid quizzes over them. my class is all going to get 0's on the AP. not even a 1. a 0.</censored></p>
<p>Do you guys this would be a competitive schedule at all?</p>
<p>Honors English
AP US
AP Calculus AB
AP Chemistry
Honors Japanese 4th Year
Adv Forensics
Leadership
Adv Journalism
Yearbook</p>
<p>I can't take any other APs because I'd either have to leave it for senior year, finished it this year, or it's not offered at my school. Should I add on AP Physics C? What about self studying AB and taking BC instead junior year and taking a community college course senior year? I'm so confused. =[
I think I'll finish around 11 APs by the end of senior year and 15 AP tests.</p>
<p>No, no it wouldn't...</p>
<p>uh...leadership and yearbooks are classes now? why are u in those? Competitive schedue is having greater than 10 APs done before applying for college (if u want to go to ivy)</p>
<p>On Monday we're making our schedules, so here are my tentative junior year schedules...</p>
<p>Chemistry 1 Honors
Algebra 3/Discrete Mathematics Honors
AP English Language and Composition
AP United States History
French 4 Honors
Philosophy or Global Issues Seminar (Honors)
2-D Art</p>
<p>Does this schedule seem competitve enough for universities like Vanderbilt, Wake Forest, Emory, and Duke???</p>
<p>Yes, I'm looking at Ivy's. </p>
<p>Well with that schedule I'm only in school for 5 out of 7 periods (leaving space for two more courses) because
Adv Forensics
Leadership
Adv Journalism
Yearbook
are 8th periods, meaning it just shows up on our transcripts as a course. They correspond respectively to speech team, student council, school newspaper, and yearbook committee. </p>
<p>What should I do since this isn't competitive?</p>
<p>My school only offers the following AP's (11):
Literature, Statistics, Calc AB, Calc BC, Bio, Chem, Physics C (only), Japanese, US, Economics, Computer Science</p>
<p>but I'd have finished Stats, Bio, and Computer Science this year.
Ehh thanks for the help guys.. I'm applying for next year's courses now.</p>
<p>Oh yeah and the honors english 11th grade course requires us to take the AP Eng Lang test. I don't understand why they don't just call it an AP course.</p>
<p>Sorry, but are you serious lol??? I thought 10 was overdoing it. I'll only have 3 when I apply to colleges (AP English Language and Composition, AP European History, and AP United States History) but all of my other classes are honors...My freshman and sophomore classes were:</p>
<p>Algebra 2 Honors
Physical Science Honors
English 1 Honors
World History Honors
French 2 CP (no honors)
Honors Seminar
Computer Applications (required)
P.E. (required)</p>
<p>Geometry Honors
Biology 1 Honors
English 2 Honors
AP European History
French 3 Honors
Visions of the Future Seminar
Art 1
Health (required)</p>
<p>Hypergreenbean, your schedule is fine, though you should probably take one normal class during the school day (unless taking 7 periods means no lunch, and 6 would mean no free period - if that's the case, then you're fine.) </p>
<h1>of AP's taken is overrated.</h1>
<p>There is definately no need to take 10+ APs before one applies to college in order to say that one has a "competitive schedule."</p>
<p>Most graduated seniors and seniors I know seldom took more than 3 or 4 APs before college applications and still were accepted into Ivies.</p>
