Next year scheduling

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>My school has block scheduling, so it creates an issue with some classes (APs included). Also, people at my school for the most part aren't interested in college-prep classes. If a certain number of people do not take a class, it is not offered (this is likely to happen)</p>

<p>My tentative schedule for next year will be</p>

<p>AP Calc AB (very unlikely to be cancelled, but possible)
AP Statistics (very likely to be cancelled)
AP U.S. History (60-40 chance of being cancelled)
AP Chemistry (Almost a guaranteed class)</p>

<p>Due to what I described above and potential scheduling conflicts, we need to have a list of 4 alternate classes.</p>

<p>Those are the only AP classes my school offers with the exception of AP English which I took last year. There are only 3 remaining honors classes (sociology, psychology, and anatomy and physiology). I am not interested in taking any of those classes, but among them anatomy and physiology would be the one I would dislike the least.</p>

<p>I have finished 6 years of spanish (the maximum at our school) and am practically fluent.</p>

<p>We have a very intensive german program where students are usually fluent after 3 years (I could take 2 years)</p>

<p>Which classes should I list as my alternates/why? Will colleges think taking a third language is good, or will they frown upon it because it is non-honors?</p>

<p>I must pick 4 classes out of:</p>

<p>Honors Anatomy and Physiology
Honors Sociology
Honors Psychology
German I
German II</p>

<p>Depends on what you want to go into - take A&P if you're into the sciencces, etc. If you decide on psych, try to self-study for the AP exam, because there won't be much to make up. I would recommend taking a language anyway - three or four years of a language is the norm for prestigious schools.</p>

<p>Good luck with the lack of APs/dumb students. I'm in the same boat and it can be extremely frustrating :&lt;/p>

<p>Well I already have 6 years of spanish, german would be a third language...who thinks that German I and II would be good alternates?</p>

<p>anybody? they're due tomorrow so any help would really be appreciated</p>

<p>no, not german if you have that much spanish. dont worry about the alts. i found my school just ignores that list anyway. if you get somewhere you don't want, just switch out.</p>

<p>Would you be taking German 1 or 2?
I would say the three honors classes and the appropriate level German.</p>
