<p>I received an email today from one of the teachers who schedules classes and he told me I might not able to take AP English Lit this year because I have so many tough courses. I will be taking AP Bio, Chem, BC, Honors Spanish 4, psychology, and 2 other half credit courses.</p>
<p>Basically should I drop AP English (i wouldn't have to read 2 more books and write 4 papers) and possibly pick up another AP or honors course? I took AP Eng Language last year and made a 3 and B+ in the class. If I take regular English and drop AP will my schedule look less rigorous? Oh and I'm a senior.</p>
<p>My D was in a similar situation - small HS with limited AP classes, most offered just once a day. She wanted AP Calc, AP Gov and AP Eng Lit but couldn't schedule all 3. She dropped AP Eng for Reg Eng (no Honors at her school). </p>
<p>She checked with a couple of colleges to explain the situation - they all said as long as GC explains it in his recommendation, they won't view her as having taken a "less rigorous" schedule.</p>
<p>Are chem, calc, and psych all AP too? If so, there definitely shouldn't be a problem dropping AP English. People from my high school have gotten into quality schools without taking as many APs as humanly possible. Technically, sure, your schedule won't look quite as rigorous, but it'd be ridiculous for a school to reject you just because you took <em>gasp</em> one fewer AP class. :)</p>
<p>take spanish 4 honors and regular world literature</p>
<p>or</p>
<p>take regular spanish 4 and AP English Lit.</p>
<p>so I would still be taking AP Chem, Bio, BC and then psych, world religions, prayer. i think if i drop one of the sciences though i won't have enough credits for senior year. minimum is 6.5 and i have 6.5 right now.</p>
<p>so what do you guys think now?</p>
<p>edit: I'm leaning towards just taking regular spanish 4...</p>
