<p>My senior schedule is:
AP calc
AP physics
AP govt / Eco
Honors English
Dual Credit ethics
Academic competition (we have a class for this but I'm not sure if it'll be on my transcript if I apply EA).</p>
<p>This schedule allows me to get out at 12:50 each day. The only way I could make it better is if I took AP lang comp, but last year I took Dual Credit comp, so I don't want to take the same class all over again. I could also take AP chem or bio, but I hate both those classes and they wouldn't allow me to get out at 12:50. There's no online classes I could take unfortunately. I'm not sure what I should do to strengthen my schedule. I've taken all the electives I could besides drama, journalism, and year book. And taking any of those classes mean I lose my opportunity to get off early. If I add one more class, I then get off at 2:15 every day. Big difference. All those classes would also drop my GPA. I will offer some context with my previous schedules - all of which were maximized with what my school would allow.</p>

<p>How does my senior schedule fit in that? Does my senior schedule look too weak? What I can do to fix that without taking more classes at my school?</p>
<p>I should also note some stats:
Rank: 1/93
UW GPA: 4.0
W GPA: 4.45
SAT: 2300
SAT II in math 2, US history and world history: assume 750+ in each</p>
<p>It is unfortunate that online classes are out of the question - you could have dual-enrolled Art Appreciation or something like that at your local CC.
Does your school not offer AP English Literature? (Given the amount of APs your school offers, it just seems strange that AP Engl. Lit is not on your schedule)
To be honest, your schedule looks just fine, especially because you’re taking AP Calculus and AP Physics at the same time. If Princeton rejects you, it WON’T be due to your schedule.</p>
<p>Yeah my school offers both AP lit and lang but they alternate each year. The year they offered Lit I took my DC composition class and this year they offer lang/comp but I just finished the same composition credit. So the year they offered me a different class I couldn’t take it and the year I can take it I got offered the same class. So I just want to clear this up - my senior schedule is NOT a problem - even with only 5 classes?</p>
<p>Unless your school is VERY small (which I assume it is, based on your class rank) and your GC can state that you’ve taken everything possible, then whether or not it will kill you is based on what you’re doing with your afternoons. If you have to work, or have some incredibly stellar EC, then no. Otherwise, taking less than a full schedule sends a very negative message.</p>
<p>I work 20 hours a week during the week at an attorney’s office. I’m also president of a couple clubs and doing some library stuff so I’m pretty busy in the afternoons actually. I mean I also have a laundry list of other EC’s but I don’t want to list them here. I Get home around 6 each day and then have home work and other projects for my EC’s.</p>
<p>I have a Latin I credit which transfers from middle school and I have a Latin II credit from sophomore year. So overall 1 year of Spanish and 2 years of Latin. </p>
<p>I can’t take anymore online classes because my school doesn’t offer any more. The most I could do is add AP land but I already took a lang class. Yes my school is small. High school is around 300 kids.</p>
<p>How does my guidance counsellor state that I took everything possible???</p>
<p>Basically he ow can I make it clear I took as many advanced as I could?</p>
