Senior Year Class Schedule Dilemma!

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>As of now, there are two scenarios for my senior class fall semester schedule:</p>

<p>I)
1. Symphonic Band
2. AP English Literature
3. AP Physics
4. AP Biology
5. Intro to DifEq (online)
6. AP Spanish Literature
7. Teacher's Assistant</p>

<p>II)
1. Symphonic Band
2. AP English Literature
3. AP Physics
4. Intro to DifEq (online)
5. Organic Chemistry
6. Teacher's Assistant</p>

<p>Now, I am definitely in favor of Organic Chemistry (scenario II), but knowing the work load, I would have to forgo AP Biology if I took the course (at nearby college).</p>

<p>From what I've heard, the colleges I want to apply to (Caltech, Stanford, MIT are my reaches) want applicants that are well-rounded in the sciences. However, I truly love chemistry and excel at chemistry.</p>

<p>What do you guys think?</p>

<p>Also consider I am human and also play tennis in the fall. Workload problems?</p>

<p>There’s always the option of self-studying AP Bio. Since you say you’re good at OChem, the workload will not be overwhelming, and you can devote time to study AP Bio on your own with the help of some textbooks. Seems to me it’s a win-win situation.</p>
