<p>Next year I'm going to be a junior, and here's my (tentative) schedule:
AP European History
AP Latin
AP Physics B
Precalc Honors
English III Honors **
Beginning & Intermediate Drawing
Dance III (for P.E.)</p>
<p>My problem is that I'm not sure if I should take AP English instead of English III Honors.
My sophomore year english teacher told me to take honors, but she likes my writing and she really loves what I have to say in class. Her only problem with me is that with our final project, we had to revise a bunch of essays from over the year and I didn't edit enough (her directions were unclear but she basically wanted everything re-written completely and I made fewer changes than she liked). This teacher tends to play favorites, and although I wasn't one of the students she hated, I wasn't one of her favorites.
Also, I talked about it with the english teacher I had in 8th and 9th grades and he told me that I should definitely take AP and it would be rediculous for me to take honors.
Everyone at my school tells me that AP is actually less work than honors because you don't have to revise stuff as much, and since I'm taking a pretty heavy load already (at least for my school it's heavy, I know some of you take 6 APs and such) that appeals to me. Another plus for AP is that my best friend is going to be in the class and a girl I really can't stand is going to be taking honors (though I know it shouldn't affect my decision).
Some of the schools I'm hoping for for college are NYU, Columbia, and Penn, if that helps.
Thanks so much for your help!</p>
