You are already taking 4 notoriously hard APs next year, which may cause stress. Have you done AP Computer Science Principles?
We don’t have APCSP at my school. I have taken regular computer science principles though @BiologyMajorHere
Drop AP stats and replace with English Honors.
Limit yourself to these 4 APs.
you should definitely take all those courses if you KNOW for a fact that you can handle it. also, make sure to center your courses around STEM related topics to show colleges that you’re seriously passionate about STEM. also while coming up with your junior year schedule, keep in mind that you need time for things like extracurricular activities, volunteering, competitions, sports, ACT/SAT prep, etc. best of luck!
You’re not taking English? Are you sure about that…
@ab2002 I am. I forgot to add it. I have to be picked to be in AP Seminar at my school, but I’ll probably get in.
How is this year going? If you feel like you could handle an even tougher schedule then this looks good.
Your schedule seems pretty strong for a junior. Just be aware that with an increase in course rigor, you should expect a reasonable decrease in overall grades. Though, if you still earn mostly A grades, your GPA should actually still increase.
