senior schedule rigorous enough??

Applying to College

<p>I'm applying to Cornell Engineering Early Decision.
Due to schedule conflicts, I was unable to take as many classes as I usually do. Having to sacrifice AP Spanish, I'm currently taking:
AP English
BC Calculus
AP Chemistry
AP Biology
Wind Ensemble Honors</p>

<p>Does Cornell emphasize a rigorous senior schedule? Would this schedule put me at a disadvantage? My guidance counselor said she'd make a note of the situation (explaining why I'm not taking Spanish all 4 years), but should I still add another class such as AP Statistics?</p>

<p>I'd appreciate any feedback - thanks!</p>

<p>Think about it like this: can you get A’s and do well on the AP tests as well as maintain a steady interest in your ECs AND add AP Stats? If you can, go for it. Otherwise, this looks like a tough schedule. </p>

<p>I would rather get A’s with this schedule and all 4-5s on the AP test than add AP Stats and get a few B’s and a mix of 3-5’s.</p>

<p>I don’t think it’s worth adding AP Stat. I loved my intro stat class last year and I think the subject is very useful, but I don’t think the AP class is worth it.</p>

<p>You should replace one of your AP sciences with AP Gov or APUSH</p>
