What are you interested in? You seem to be using the “everything but the kitchen sink” approach with all your APs which is usually not a good thing.
Why are you taking both AP Calc AB and BC? If BC covers AB material, you’re wasting your time in AB, if BC doesn’t cover AB material then you are going to be lost in class. AP Stat is not seen as a rigorous math class, if your school does AB and BC as a sequence, you’d be better off taking AB junior year and BC senior year (less stress).
I’m not sure about the colleges you listed, but some (most?) want to see a year of chemistry, a year of bio, and a year of physics, so add a year of physics if possible (taking out one of the AP Calcs should leave you room to do this).
It’s good that you’ll take Spanish every year.
I agree about the two-year calc option; you have an incredibly rigorous schedule and that’s great, but if you push yourself to take the hardest classes possible in every subject area, you’ll get burned out. A slightly slower math sequence (although still obviously very advanced) is a good way to at least slightly alleviate that.
@IAmNotCreativ Yes, I am a freshman. My first post had classes that I was planning on taking but ended up switching before the school year began. My newest post is more accurate. Any other schedule advice?
@IAmNotCreativ I can take it without taking Honors Bio first. We have a mandatory 8 periods a day and 10th, 11th, and 12th graders can have up to 10 periods.
Math:
7th grade- Algebra 1 Honors
8th- Geometry Honors
9th- Algebra 2 Honors
10th- Pre-Calculus Honors
11th- AP Calculus AB
12th- AP Calculus BC
=============================> ALL GOOD.
Science:
9th grade- Physics Honors
10th- Chemistry Honors
11th- AP Chemistry/AP Biology => CHOOSE ONE
12th- Either AP not taken in 11th and/or Anatomy/Physiology
English:
9th grade- Honors English 1
10th- Honors English 2
11th- AP Language
12th- AP Literature—> consider not taking. Your colleges will only consider credit for one of AP Lang or AP Lit. AP Lang is more important. Only keep AP Lit if you love reading (which is a good thing).
Social Science:
9th grade- World History Honors
10th- AP World History
11th- American History Honors
12th- AP Government and AP Micro
============================> ALL GOOD
Foreign Language:
7th grade- Spanish 1
8th- Spanish 2
9th- Spanish 3 Honors
10th- Spanish 4 honors
11th- AP Spanish Language
12th- AP Spanish Literature -----> Great if you take it, but as long as you have Foreign Language up to AP, you’re good. You may want to ease up a bit your senior year, because those college apps are like an extra class throughout the Fall semester.
Electives:
9th grade- Dance Technique 1, Journalism 1, Dance Repertory 1
10th- Dance Technique 2, Journalism 2, Dance Repertory 2
11th- Dance Technique 3 Honors, Journalism 3 Honors, Dance Repertory 3 Honors
12th- Dance Technique 4 Honors, Journalism 4 Honors, Dance Repertory 4 Honors
====> be flexible with this. Do not cut on sleep because of electives. (Make sure you can have 8-9hours a night).
Here is another updated schedule based on @MYOS1634 's advice.
Math:
7th grade- Algebra 1 Honors
8th- Geometry Honors
9th- Algebra 2 Honors
10th- Pre-Calculus Honors
11th- AP Calculus AB
12th- AP Calculus BC
You should still take Chemistry. If you’re willing to take more than one science a year, which isn’t that hard for non APs, you could take one of the following options:
9th - H Physics
10th - H Chemistry & H Biology
11th -AP Physics or AP Chem
12th -AP Biology or AP Chem or AP Biology
As an aspiring pre-med, you should definitely take at least biology, chemistry, and physics, and as many APs of those as possible.
9th - Physics H
10th - Chemistry H
11th - AP Biology
12th - AP Chemistry
Nursing is different from premed.
However I agree you should take Biology (obviously)+ PhysicsH AND ChemistryH. However for future nursing students, Anatomy and Physiology is very useful (it isn’t for premeds however). Depending on how comfortable you feel with it, you could take AP Chemistry or AP Bio in addition to Anatomy and Physiology.
AP Physics wouldn’t be necessary if you took Honors Physics (or even just regular physics).
“11th- AP Calculus AB and AP Calculus BC”
Why are you taking both? Why not just BC? If you are taking the harder class, why would you also take the easier class? Depending on your school, your workload may not be too realistic. I imagine that it would be possible if your school is pretty easy, but if your school is already rigorous, you may be setting yourself up to not sleep for a few years.
@EquestrianDream: many schools offer AB-BC as a sequence like calc1, calc2. Don’t assume that because your school offers each as a one-year class (one more intense than the other), it’s the same everywhere. @tcuboundbaby: you may want to check your high school’s sequence for science (ie, often it’s bio, chem, physics). Otherwise, it’s perfect.
