<p>I am a Junior in high school and currently an IB diploma candidate. However, I'm considering not doing the full diploma, not, because of the extra work but because of the fact that I would have to (and already have) give up taking classes I really want to take. I would really appreciate some guidance in coming up with a schedule for Senior year. (I will need to take a semester of health next year) My schedule at the moment is as follows:</p>
<p>French 2
IB English
IB Biology HL
IB History
IB Theory of Knowledge
Honors Jazz Ensemble
Calculus with Applications</p>
<p>I am hoping to double major in Music Technology/Composition and Physics/Astronomy. Although I'm not amazing at math I do thoroughly enjoy learning it, working with derivatives has been very fun and I am willing to put forth the extra effort to learn more. I've always loved reading on different aspects of physics and how they relate to the world; I'm really interested in astrophysics, optics, and chemical physics but haven't been able to take a physics class yet because of IB requirements and next year I'd be taking IB Physics. Sadly, from what I've heard it won't really give me the preparation I need for college and my school only offers AP Physics C as opposed to B and C. (I wouldn't take B anyway because I need calculus based physics) I'm wonder if it would be too difficult to go into Physics C with only the Calculus under my belt. As for the music I've been playing guitar for 3 years and recently got a guitar teacher that is teaching me mainly theory so I'm working really hard to prepare for college. I was thinking of either taking Piano 1 or Honors Chamber Singers to utilize the semester after health. Chamber singers has a lot of sight singing which is essential for college level music and Piano is useful and required in college. So, I'm not sure which to take and I'm not sure if taking BC Calculus next rather than AB would be too challenging along with AP Physics C. So, this is a sample schedule I've come up with tell me what you think:</p>
<p>IB English 2
IB Biology 2
Ap Physics C
Ap AB Calculus or Ap BC Calculus
Ap Statistics or IB Chemistry
Honors Jazz Ensemble
Health/Piano 1 or Health/Honors Chamber Singers</p>
