Picking Sophmore high school classes?

<p>Hello everyone, </p>

<p>I'm planning on taking the following classes next year as a sophmore but I'm not sure if I can handle it. Comments and advice would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>Ap World History
Precalculus
Ap Bio
Ap Physics C
Chemistry Honors
English 2 honors
Orchestra</p>

<p>My current gpa is a 4.0. weighted is 4.8</p>

<p>This should actually be posted on the College Admissions forum, not ACT Prep, moving.</p>

<p>AP physics C is supposed to require calculus as a prerequisite.</p>

<p>drop orchestra, unless your school orchestra is amazing. it doesn’t really provide a valuable experience at most schools, and instead, i would suggest joining a youth orchestra outside of school that performs at a much higher level, which is what i’m doing. replace it with an academic class if you can.
don’t do physics C if you don’t know any calculus yet!!!, other than that,
i think you’re fine. you will really really struggle in physics C without any knowledge of calculus.</p>

<p>Ap bio can be a LOT of work. And Physics is also not a good idea, especially without Calc. Shoot, I struggled in an honors physics without calc knowledge.</p>

<p>You aren’t taking a foreign language?</p>

<p>I’d drop AP Physics to take a foreign language. You should get two or three of them in at least “hope you already took one!” </p>

<p>As others said AP Physics C will be pretty hard to impossible without taking Calc yet. Save it for later, you have Chem Honors and AP Bio to worry about.</p>
