I’m currently a sophomore trying to figure out my classes for junior and senior year. I don’t want my junior year classes to be significantly harder than senior year because I also have SAT prep, internships, and dance. I know that I want to become a doctor or something similarly medical. I’ll most likely major in biology or such at a competitive university. I’d love to go to an ivy league like my sister so I need a stellar high school transcript. This is a possible schedule for me:
JUNIOR:
-AP language
-AP Biology
-AP psych
-AP US history
-Physics
-Advanced math application
-Junior leader
-Spanish 4 accel
SENIOR:
-AP literature
-AP chem
-AP calculus
- AP physics
-Junior leader
-anatomy and physiology
- not sure yet
What are your thoughts on this schedule? Is it too easy or too hard? Are there any other classes I should be taking? Or should I take AP physics and AP bio junior year?
All advice is appreciated. PLEASE HELP
Which AP Physics is it? If it’s C, both mechanics and E&M, that was hands down the hardest class my daughter took. AP chem was second. She did them both senior year with AP calc but opted to take British Lit instead of AP lit. Even with that switch, she worked super hard senior year .
I previously took biology and chem (both accelerated). I would take AP physics 1 junior year or possibly AP physics C senior year. I would take AP Calc BC.
momofsenior1 if I took AP physics junior year than it would be physics 1. If I took it senior year than it would be possibly be C depending on how the previous year went.
wow AP Physics C, AP Calc BC, AP Chem, and AP Lit are literally the 4 hardest APs out there. That would be a pretty hard senior schedule, but on the other hand I’ve seen folks do those same 4. Unfortunately I don’t have any better suggestions on rearranging your classes, short of not taking one of the AP classes.
Junior year: drop AP Psych
Senior year: take either AP Physics C OR AP Chem OR A&p with AP Physics 1/2.
Take a social science/history class.
