I realize schedules with vary greatly, but for those admitted, can you please she what your Junior and Senior year schedule looked like (both academic and ext a curricular). Thank you!
I take it you’re talking about high school junior + senior year?
Assuming so, I took the following junior year of high school:
AP US History
AP Language Arts - Composition
Physics (non-AP)
AP Calc AB
Video Production (my high school had/has a very good program)
Academy of Finance courses
ECs: Cross Country (captain), Track, DECA (officer), Video stuff, Academy of Finance leadership, Enviro club
Senior year:
AP US Gov
Film as Literature (college-level course)
AP Bio
AP Calc BC
Video Production
Academy of Finance courses
ECs: Cross Country (head captain), Track (captain), DECA (president), FBLA, Video stuff, FIRST (did video stuff for them, only), Academy of Finance leadership, Enviro club (officer)
I had already taken though Japanese 3 by sophomore year, and I gave up taking Japanese 4 to do Video Production.
Honestly, my ECs ballooned my senior year to an extent where it wasn’t fun anymore. If I were to do it again, I’d cut the amount of stuff I was involved in and focus on the stuff I cared most about. My class choice was overall pretty good, I just wish I took AP Chem instead of Physics junior year, which would have been more intellectually engaging as well as better suited for receiving college credit.
@Thatrunnerkid Yes, I did mean High School. Thanks very much for taking the time to reply. Anyone else?
WestCoastKid - if it’s that important, you can PM me, and I will give you details. I had one kid admitted RD and one kid ED, with one of the kids still attending. However, I will tell you what I told my kids as Freshmen - Do the best you can, take the classes that you are interested in that will challenge you, and only do ECs that you like, or want to find out more about. They both did well at AP classes, played their sports at varsity level, and did what they wanted to for ECs.
