Please take a look at my junior scedule.

Pre-College Topics High School Life
1

<p>I'm an international student from south korea and this is my first year in america.
I'm a sophomore and these are the classes I'm taking now and the grades so far:
CP Chemistry (100)
CP Physics (99)
CP Modern world history (96)
Duel College algebra/Trig (99)
CP World literature (98)
Intro Bible (98)
Printmaking I&II(99)
Study Hall </p>

<p>Our school has only 6 AP classes : English lang, calculus ab, chemistry, physics, u.s.history, and euro history. </p>

<p>I want to do chemistry or chemical engineering, and want to enroll in a competitive college.
Cal tech or MIT would be the great, but I know that I'm not that good enough to go there. Probably Georgia tech would be my realistic goal. </p>

<p>So these are the ones I'm thinking about taking next year:
AP Calculus AB
AP Chemistry
Hon American Lit
CP U.S. History
Hon Biology
Bible III
AP Help (which is like a study hall-it's mandatory)
Printmaking III&IV </p>

<p>Should I push myself harder and take either AP English lang and AP U.S. History?
I know that my english or history grade isn't bad. But I didn't study for any of the chemistry, physics, or math classes and they are 99. For the english and history classes, I have to study hard and they are still 96.
I know that AP Cal and Chem won't be that hard for me because I already learned half of each when I was in Korea and I will learn the rest during summer break.
Should I take some AP classes online?
To tell the truth, I don't really care about getting college credit through AP classes. I just want the colleges know that I had a vigorous schedule. </p>

<p>I've taken the PSAT and PLAN. My PSAT was 190 and PLAN was 29.
Do you think I'm good for Georgia tech?
Of course I'm going to study the sat and act during junior year and raise my grades, but are my scores good considering I've never studied it? </p>

<p>Also, I'm thinking about changing my printmaking(art) class to band next year. I think that college's prefer band over art, but it might be better not to change and stick to art for 3 years. </p>

<p>One last thing. Because I'm an international student and english is my second lang, I'm not required to take spanish or french for graduation. But would universities like it if I take a second lang? </p>

<p>thaks<3 </p>

<p>UHHHH SOOO COMPLICATED!!!!</p>

<p>1)You don’t need to take classes that aren’t going to be helpful in the future and would end up hurting your grades.
2) Your marks are pretty good
3)Universities would like if you do take a 2nd language.</p>

<p>AP Calculus AB–>easy, maybe take BC if you can? but AB is good :slight_smile:
AP Chemistry–> hard but considering you got 100 in reg chem you should be good haha
Hon American Lit–>keep this as is, AP lang is a lot of writing
CP U.S. History–>good. APUSH is a ■■■■ load of work haha
Hon Biology–>maybe replace with Spanish I?
Bible III–is this mandatory?
AP Help (which is like a study hall-it’s mandatory)
Printmaking III&IV–>can you replace this with Spanish I?</p>

<p>I don’t want to sound derogatory but “AP Help” is making this thread sound like a ■■■■■. I apologize in advance if it’s not. On a serious note, you should take a 2nd language. Also the transition from a CP to AP class sounds pretty hard, so maybe you shouldn’t take apush or aplang. If you’re willing to put in the time and effort, go for the online classes. Whether you discontinue art or not doesn’t matter. Good luck!</p>

I wish I could do AP Calculus BC, but my school dosn’t have that class. Should I take it online?
And yeah, the bible class is mandatory :frowning:
Do you think I should take a foreign language? My school says I don’t have to and they don’t recommend it, because I’m an international student. But I think my school doesn’t pushes the students enough, so I am willing to take the class if I should. Thank you!!</p>

<p>yeah, you can take it online, but it isn’t necessary(my school makes us take AB first, but i dont think most do). You should definitely take a foreign language. Don’t take apush or ap lang haha they’re hard enough for americans.</p>

<p>just reread your post and realized your reach will be MIT… in that case calc BC sounds like a great idea :)</p>

Sorry but I don’t understand what you mean at the beginning. Isn’t a ■■■■■ a monster? :wink: </p>
