Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>I am currently a junior and looking at colleges whose acceptance rate varies from 30-60%. My schedule this year is:</p>

<p>Honors Physics
Honors Pre-calc
AP Statistics
AP Comp Sci
Honors English 11
AP US History
Honors Engineering Principles (required class)</p>

<p>We are already registering for classes next year because my school has 2000+ plus students so it takes planning</p>

<p>For my senior year schedule so far I have:</p>

<p>-AP Calc AB
-Honors English 12
-AP Physics C: Mechanics
-AP Physics C: Electricity & Magnetics
-In school internship (to help teachers when they have technological issues/ need help, also counts as an AP credit for weighted GPA)</p>

<p>I need help deciding on whether I should take AP Economics Macro/Micro. I was recommended by my AP US teacher to take it but with AP Physics and AP Calc I don't know if I will get overwhelmed. I really want to go to either University of Delaware (52% acceptance rate) or University of MD College Park(44% AR) and major in the STEM field. Should I take it to help my chances on getting into a top tier college? For seniors at my school, we have to take either a standard 1 semester economics principles class or a year long AP Econ Macro/Micro. Should I just take the challenge and do AP? By the way the teacher for this class is considered to be one of, if not, the best teacher in our school.</p>

<p>Thanks for any help in advance!</p>

<p>,IMO, I think you should do it if you think you can handle it. 3 AP’s is not really stretching the limit (I/m counting micro/macro and mech/e&m as one class each since I assume they are each semester length and I have no idea what the workload is for the internship). Physics will be time consuming; calc will be less time consuming than if you were taking calc BC. Econ is fairly interesting, and since you will have a great teacher, it should work out well.</p>
