Schedule

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>Hi! </p>

<p>I'm currently considering entering public school from homeschool for my sophomore year of high school. My 2 schedules would be very different so I was wondering if I could get a few opinions on them. I know I'm only in 10th grade, but the schedule I choose will affect me for the rest of high school.
I want to know which (if either) would put me on track for the schools I'm aiming for.
(This list will probably change some)</p>

<p>Reaches: Georgetown, Middlebury, Columbia, Air Force Academy, possibly Yale
Matches: Scripps, UVA, University of Washington
Safties: University of Alaska- Anchorage </p>

<p>Public School
I got knocked put of the system up until last week, so I only got about half of the classes I wanted. Most upset about CP math. </p>

<p>Honors English 2
AP World History
CP Geometry, waitlisted for honors
Honors Biology
CP French 2
DIT
Yearbook 1
Speech </p>

<p>Extracurriculars: yearbook, model UN, debate, track and field, swimming, volunteering at children's church</p>

<p>Homeschool:
AP English Lang (online)
AP World History
Advanced Math
AP Biology
French 2
Arabic 1
Computer Programming (dual credit)
Speech
Creative Writing
AP Psychology
Possibly AP Macroeconomics </p>

<p>Extracurriculars: book club, volunteering at library and children's church, library teen advisory board, debate, track, cross country, swimming, piano</p>

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

<p>Your public school’s schedule seems a little too average to me especially with all the electives that are not considered college prep classes… like yearbook etc. & why are you taking regular bio as a sophomore? </p>

<p>your other schedule looks extreme, but considering for what you’re aiming for, the schedule suits you more :D</p>

<p>^At most schools bio is the normal class for sophomores, and a prerequisite for AP Bio.</p>

<p>I think your public school schedule is pretty well rounded, and your homeschool schedule looks intense. With such a huge difference between the two, am I right in assuming your school has limited AP options for sophomores?</p>

<p>Speaking as a former home-schooler the work you do when you are home-schooled tends to be much more challenging then the work you do as a public school kid. That being said I think it is a good experience. Have you considered doing public school (with your not so great schedule) with additional classes online/self-studyed? Also I recommend you switch yearbook for an extra honors/AP class, nobody who is not an upperclassman needs to take yearbook.</p>
