Need senior scheduling advice!

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>Hi,
I'm picking classes for next year (I'll be a senior), and I was wondering how many AP courses would be reasonable. My guidance counselor kind of sucks and gives the worst advice, so it would be great if I could get some insight.</p>

<p>What I'm Taking Now:
AP Statistics
AP English Language
AP Physics B
AP US History
Honors Precalculus
Honors French IV</p>

<p>Unweighted GPA: 4.2203
Weighted GPA: 5.0620</p>

<p>What I'm Planning on Taking Next Year:
AP English Literature (hesitant)
AP Biology
AP Chemistry (hesitant)
AP Physics C (hesitant)
AP Calculus (not sure if I should do AB or BC)</p>

<p>I'm also interested in taking AP Environmental and a regular Psychology class next year, but I'm not sure if that'll be too much for my schedule.
I don't really want to take AP French or AP European History next year, but I got recommended for both courses. Will it hurt me to drop both French and history and focus on sciences? (I want to go into medicine.)</p>

<p>Thank you for any advice!</p>

<p>(Also, I'm not sure if this is relevant, but I got recommended for all of the courses that I listed, so I won't have to waive in or anything. But then again, I feel like teachers always recommend every student, so it probably doesn't mean anything.)</p>

<p>I would take AP Lit because most teachers help you with your writing and your personal statement for college, well at least in my school. How well are you doing in AP Physics B? If your doing well and like it take physics C, but that means you also have to take at least Calculus AB.
But since your interested in medicine, I think AP bio and AP chem would be a better choice and drop physics to take ap environmental or psychology.</p>

<p>Okay, I think I’m dropping Physics C and going with BC and APES. Thanks for your help!</p>
