- background info - I go to a small suburban high school in northeast Ohio that offers a whopping selection of three AP classes, all of which I have taken. I am second in my class of 300, wanting to become first, but won't be upset if it doesn't happen. I am obviously applying to college this fall (Notre Dame, Ohio State, Miami U, and Cinci) and want to look as competitive as I can when it comes to my course selections.
Because my school offers little to no APs, I am opting to do college credit plus and go to the University of Akron this fall on the morning taking Microeconomics, English Comp I, Basic Statistics (plus a lab on Mondays), and Beginner Spanish. In the afternoon, I will come back to my high school and take AP Calc AB.
I will have a total of 3 classes a day (4 on Mondays with Stats lab) and have Fridays off (besides the 40 min calc class at my HS.) I am also on the varsity soccer team, 2 hour practices every day after school when we do not have a game.
Is 4 college classes plus an AP class too much for a high school senior? Will I be able to manage this without absolutely killing my GPA? Or will it be decently manageable?
Thank you so much. I am beginning to be worried I put too much on my shoulders for this year after hearing what the #1 student is taking this year (much less).
