picking senior classes...

<p>Hi, I'm scheduling for my senior year and I'm so conflicted about what to take! I don't know if taking a full schedule would be too much (I've never had a study hall so I'm not sure if I will need one). I want to take English AP, French 5 AP, Comp Gov't/ Humanities, and AP Bio. I have two slots left for full year classes, and the options are AP Statistics or Physiology H. I've always wanted to take Physio, but I'm worried that I need to take a math my senior year. </p>

<p>Any advice? (PS. I'm not extremely smart like all the people that post on this website- I work hard, but I'm not brilliant by any means...)</p>

<p>You’re right, you should take the math. Better for it to be calculus if you haven’t already had that, but if it’s not an option then there’s nothing you can do about it.</p>

<p>Hi, my Sicilian friend… :)</p>

<p>I think you should take a study hall and this is why. At some point next year, you are going to come down with an incurable case of senioritis. Well, there is a cure…it’s called graduation. :wink: You’ll need that study hall to catch up, regroup, or just as mental health time. </p>

<p>Not only that…but senior year is filled with a lot of non-academic distractions…the college app process, campus visits, senior trip, senior retreat, homecoming, prom, etc, etc, etc…</p>

<p>So…your senior year schedule will be…</p>

<p>AP French
AP English (Lit or Comp?)
AP Gov (which is rather easy…BTW)
AP Bio
I think you need a math class…Calculus (did you take pre-cal this year?) Or, take Statistics, if math isn’t your strong suit - but that can hurt you if you’re applying to some top elite schools).</p>

<p>How many class periods do you have? 6? 7? 8? </p>

<p>Do you have a religion class (if so, senior year religion class can be a pain if your teacher assigns a lot of essays, etc)?</p>
