Senior Schedule - Too much?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>Hey, we are currently picking classes for our Senior year and I just wanted some input from you guys.
My current plans are:
AP Calculus BC
AP Physics
AP Literature
AP Psychology</p>

<p>and then I have an extra slot which I was thinking of adding AP Spanish Language or AP Computer Science.
Am I taking too many AP classes? Should I fill the last slot with an easier class or will it be worth it to push myself?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I don’t think it’s too bad, but only you can tell. Have you taken APs before?</p>

<p>How many AP classes did you take this year? Do you feel that the rigor of your schedule next year is manageable compared to this year’s schedule?</p>

<p>I am taking 5 this year. I was pretty cocky during the first quarter but I really started to really feel the pain by the end of the second quarter, haha. I can’t imagine doing any more than that, but that’s just me.</p>

<p>It’s shouldn’t be too much, and in my opinion, four AP classes are enough for your senior year.</p>

<p>Looks good, buddy. If you want to add another AP, then go ahead. Pick whichever one you would see yourself enjoying the most.</p>

<p>Sounds good; I’ll be taking four AP classes as well.</p>

<p>This is remarkably similar to my schedule last semester. It wasn’t too bad, especially if you plan ahead for applications. I would take AP Comp Sci, but that’s just me.</p>

<p>Thanks for the advice and I think I am going to take the Engineering course offered here just to get some experience with design. I am interested in Aerospace Engineering and taking an AP course (Spanish, Euro History, CompSci) would be just for the extra AP credit and not enjoyment. Sometimes I forget that colleges also look for interest and not merely academic successes.</p>

<p>Sorry for the double post, but would taking AP Physics C and AP Chemistry be tough? It’s been 2 years since I took Chemistry Honor, but I feel like chemistry could be useful.</p>

<p>It seems like a bit much (but then double AP science in general does not seem like a good idea), the schedule you posted earlier looks good.</p>
