Rate my SENIOR year schedule?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>So, I made a similar post about this, and no one responded, I tried bumping it, but it got lost in the pages of this forum... how demoralizing, I know.</p>

<p>Anywho - this is my senior year schedule</p>

<p>AP Calculus AB
AP English Literature
AP Politics and Government
Marine Biology, Honors
Latin IV, Honors
AP Math Study Hall [credit, but no grade]
School-to-Career (teacher assistant, essentially.) [credit, but no grade]
Duel Enrollment Psychology @ local CC [weighted as an AP course]</p>

<p>I have a 3.7 UW GPA - and I was wondering if this schedule is rigorous enough for me to get accepted into schools like (and specifically) Boston University - and others of similar caliber. </p>

<p>The Study Hall and the School-to-Career worry me because they're essentially free periods that I'm receiving credit for - (our school grants credit for those courses because its only available to students who are in a strong academic standing, top 10%, etc.)</p>

<p>I'm essentially only taking five classes out of 7 periods. Thoughts?</p>

<p>@Repede - that thread has like thirty million posts - I wanted my own individual thread so I can get multiple pieces of feedback.</p>

<p>Yes, I think you would have a good chance of getting into schools like (and specifically) Boston University. I think that the dual enrollment course is definitely a plus.</p>

<p>I wouldn’t worry about the study hall and School-to-Career classes since it seems like it’s an indication that you are a good student.</p>

<p>Just do the usual, write good essays, etc. and I would say your chances are looking good!</p>

<p>I’d take an academic class in place of AP Math study hall (lol is this weighted?) or School-to-Career.</p>

6

<p>No, the AP Math study hall isn’t weighted [there’s no grade] - it is a credit course, though. (you need 20 credits throughout high school to graduate, and both AP Math Study Hall and the School-to-Career are one credit each).</p>

7

<p>You should take an easy AP class like APES or AP Psych. Basically anything that’s not AP HUG should be good.</p>

8

<p>I already took AP Environmental, and I’m taking Psychology at my local Community College - I have no other options for AP classes besides AP Stats, which is notoriously difficult at my school, and I’m not very math oriented and plan on majoring in Poli-sci.</p>

9

<p>My bad, missed the DE class. But you should have 6 classes since that’s what most people take. Have you already taken Honors Bio, Phys, and Chem?</p>

10

<p>@Repede - Yep.</p>

11

<p>I got nothing. Why are you asking for help if you basically can’t change your schedule?</p>

12

<p>what about AP Comparitive Government or AP US Government and Politics?</p>

13

<p>@Apollo11 - I’m taking AP US Government and Politics - that’s what AP Politics and Gov is - our school doesn’t offer Comparative Gov.</p>

14

<p>^Maybe you can turn that period into a free and use that free to do AP Comparitive online?
I know it is a rare course, but it was worth a shot. Maybe you could use that period to self study it?</p>
