<p>Most colleges suggest at least three years of Math, Science, History, and English. They also suggest at least two years of the same foreign language. this means more 'flexibility' with your schedule as a senior.</p>
<p>Which subjects did you decide not to continue in and why?</p>
<p>For me it was Spanish because I have been in honors for two years and taking Spanish since sixth grade and I've retained nothing. I've considered not continuing with history but AP Psychology seemed interesting enough even though ya a junior course at my school. >.></p>
<p>I’m a senior now, but I only take Social Studies, Gym and English (Required by my state) and a math and elective only to fill my schedule. I dropped science and I was going to drop math but as an ed major I would have to take statistics anyway so yeah…</p>
<p>Next year I should just be taking math/science classes (dual enrollment) and maybe philosophy or something.
I already have four years of English and four years of social studies. I have two years of the same language, and I’m not really interested in taking any more.</p>
<p>I was originally going to drop math, because I hate it and my only options are AP level… but my guidance counselor basically tried to tell me that dropping math meant automatic rejection from most of the schools I’m going to apply to.</p>
<p>…So I dropped art. By the end of Senior Year, I’ll have completed 4 years of math, 4 years of English, 4 years of Latin, 5 years of Science… 7 years of History. (I really like history, ok, leave me alone.)</p>
<p>4 years of English
4 years of Math (through MV Calc)
3 years of Spanish (through Spanish 5)
4 years of History
2 years of Art
1/3 years of Religion
7 years of Science</p>
<p>Dropped history…
My school is annoying in that schedules dont get finalized till August, so I might have to drop another core like science.
If all goes well I should have, by the end of senior year:
4 years English
4 years math
4 years science
4 years foreign language
3 years history</p>
<p>When I graduate:
4 credits English
6 credits Math
4.5 credits History
5 credits French (6 years)
6 credits Science
3 credits Art
1 credit Tech (required)
.5 credit health (ugh)
1 credit gym</p>
<p>When I will graduate, I will have:
4 years English
3 years foreign (Japanese) language (taking AP this year)
5 years Math (will take MV Calc next year. taking AP Calc and AP Stats this year)
4 years History (ewwww. but it’s required)
1 year Art
6 years Science</p>
<p>I wish I could drop English because they gave me 3 this year!!! And it’s my hardest subject.But I am required all 4 years. Same with PE. That’s required 4 years.
I stopped French after sophomore year. However, I did complete French 3 and 4 that year, so I did get a lot done. However, if I do decide to ever continue it, there goes 2 years without it… Unless it somehow ends up in my schedule next year. The reason I stopped it was because one French teacher is absolutely awful and if I took AP I would be guaranteed to have her, or if I had French 5 I would probably have her (but of course French 5 was taught by the good teacher this year -.-. Oh well, it wouldn’t have fit because there was only 1 section of it and it was during a block that I couldn’t move)</p>
<p>When I graduate I will have:
6 English credits (WHY)
5.5 Science credits- There were 2 required freshman year, then 1 every other year. Except next year I am taking more of an elective science class (biotech) as well, which is .5.
5 Social Studies credits- This is my last subject I haven’t doubled up in but I am planning on this year. I guess I like balancing my schedule.
5 Math credits- This is normal for my school since we double up sophomore year, however I technically took the 2 classes in 1 credit (algebra 2/3 combined, where other kids take them separately) so I have even more than most kids… this is more like 6… Hahah I pretty much had only 1 choice for math going into senior year. Unless I wanted to drop down to the joke math classes or take engineering or computer programming. I took AP calc this year so the only reasonable choice was AP stat.
3 Foreign Language- up to French 4
4 years of PE (I hate this so much)
3 years health (2 required, haha most people are like why would you take an extra health class? truthfully, they probably won’t have enough kids signed up and i won’t get it)
then random other electives
But I won’t get my final schedule until usually late August (I just realized I will get it early this year because school is starting in August instead of September). So this is subject to change. I didn’t really have a lot of alternatives so I could really be placed in anything… .From a 3rd social studies class to French 5 or even Chinese… This is what happened to me this year. I signed up for 2 English classes, but they couldn’t fit me into ASL (which ended up getting cut anyway) so they gave me a 3rd English class… It was Creative Writing, so it didn’t really matter. But still. I would’ve rather taken that senior year because there were literally no English classes I wanted… but they were required.</p>
<p>When I graduate:
5 credits of Math
4 credits of English
6 credits of Science
4 credits of Foreign Language
6 credits of History
1 credit of PE
1 credit of Fine Arts</p>
<p>5 years of math + 1 summer
4 years of English + 1 semester of college communications
4 years of Science + 1 summer
4 years of Foreign Language (Japanese)
6.5 years of Government/History/Etc (college classes included)
4 years of Gym
1 year of Music</p>
<p>Well, my school is wonky. We won’t know our schedules until about a week before school and then there’s a mandatory two week period where no one can change classes. But if all goes well my senior schedule will look something like this:</p>
<p>AP Government
AP Calc BC
Spanish III
JROTC LET IV
At least one science (Bio II [anatomy], Physics, or ecology)</p>
<p>Those are the definite. Compared to my school, I’m way ahead on my credits these are my options:</p>
<p>English (Creative writing or Journalism)
Art I (I have been trying to sign up since freshman year. ridiculous)</p>
<p>I’m leaning towards this schedule:</p>
<p>AP Government
AP Calc. BC
Spanish III
JROTC LET IV
Creative Writing
Bio II
Physics</p>
<p>I can always just cut something out and double up on JROTC. I also plan on self studying AP Pysch. (let’s see how that goes lol) When all is said and done I’ll graduate with</p>
<p>4 years of English
6 years of math
4 years of social studies
5 years of science
4 years of JROTC (Counts as elective I think…)
2 years of health/PE (required)
2 or 3 other electives (having trouble recalling my past years’ schedules)</p>
