<p>Hello. I am going into my senior year and I have had to constantly re-plan my schedule to try and achieve what I want for next year, and I've finally just run into a wall and don't really know what else to do.</p>
<p>I am trying to do dual enrollment because I've reached the extent of what my high school has to offer in the subjects I am interested in(computer science and biology). My first option was to dual enroll at a local state university. However, dual enrolled students cannot sign up for classes until much later than normal students (sometime in august, for fall class signups), and already now at the beginning of June every class I meet the requirements to take in computer science and biology has filled up. So I decided to look to community college. My local community college does not offer as many options in biology, the only advanced biology class they have that falls in my interest in a microbiology class, so I decided to take that as well as a computer programming class. So both of these classes were available and I met the requirements, however checking just recently, for the microbiology class, all sections of it have been cancelled except for a section that is at a time I can't possibly make with the schedule at my HS that I am allowed to have, unless I take another class online to make my schedule work, however I am already taking two classes online and the online class curriculum is just not very good.</p>
<p>So this is my current schedule for next year at my high school:
AP European History
AP Micro/Macro economics (1 semester each)
AP Chemistry
AP English Lit
And online school:
AP Art History
AP Calculus BC
And self-study:
Japanese(another thing that I've exhausted all my resources trying to find classes in. HS, online school, and community college don't offer it, state university classes filled up..)</p>
<p>Because of the way my school requires me to schedule my classes, the only way to take the microbiology community college class I want is to either take my english or economics online, in addition to the other online classes I already have.. Which would mean only actually taking 3 classes at my high school.</p>
<p>I have literally exhausted every option to take more advanced biology and computer science classes. There is a private university in my town that lets high school students attend as non-degree seeking students, but they do not offer financial aid for non-degree. The only reason I can do the state university or community college is that my school district pays for tuition and books for these schools for high school students. My parents cannot afford to pay for the private university or any other sort of private classes. I really want to take a higher level computer science course and biology course(it doesn't have to be microbiology, this is just the only biology course the community college offers beyond Bio I&II that I am interested in). I have taken AP Biology and AP computer science and I also have quite a lot of knowledge in both subjects beyond the AP curriculum.. If I really had to I could continue teaching myself in computer science, although I would prefer to be in a class. But there really is nothing else I am able to teach myself in biology with absolutely no guidance.</p>
<p>Okay so that was very long and I'd be surprised if anyone read it all, but if you did and you have any advice at all... My guidance counselor is useless, it's almost impossible to even get to talk to her, so I don't really know who to ask. So can anyone offer any advice on how to take more advanced bio and CS classes next year? Or tell me if is a good/bad idea to have half of my high school classes be online senior year in order to take these community college classes? It is very easy to get As(or rather, nearly impossible to not get As) on the online classes which is why I think college admissions might frown on me taking so many online when my school offers the classes.. Unless I can explain the reason why I took them? I dunno. Any help would be appreciated, but I know this is really long and specific so I'm not expecting too much of it. =</p>
