<p>I would just take the honors class at your high school. Not worth chancing your GPA. Again, make an appointment with your guidance counselor at your high school and ASK him/her if he/she will mark “most rigorous” on your transcript. That is all that is important for your college applications. I can’t see why they wouldn’t mark that but you want to confirm that.</p>
<p>Basically, senior year take a social studies, math, science, English and a foreign language. After that, whatever electives interest you. Take AP if you can, if not, take the highest level class your school offers. Take your college classes in the social and English so they don’t mess up your GPA in the sciences for college, but still get A’s in those for your overall GPA.</p>
