<p>Class registration for next year is beginning this week at my school, and I'm a little conflicted. I can take a maximum of 6 courses, 7 if I waive my study hall. </p>
<p>This is my future schedule thus far:
1. AP Chemistry
2. AP Calc BC
3. AP Gov/Micro-econ
4. AP Lit
5. AP Music Theory
6. Wind Ensemble</p>
<p>Does this seem logical for someone aiming for an upper-tier university like Rice or Vanderbilt? I have 3 years of Spanish (all honors) and one AP science (AP Bio currently with an A), and the highest math I've taken is Pre-Calculus Honors (currently enrolled with an A). </p>
<p>My concern is that I have not taken the proper math and science courses, due mostly to the fact that I moved across the country and jumped into my sophomore year without really understanding the school's system. I was unaware that I could take multiple science and math courses at once (something that was strictly forbidden at my previous school) and consequently did not take advantage. </p>
<p>So, should I take an AP science (e.g AP Physics B) or AP Stat instead of Music Theory? Or waive my study hall, take a 7th course, and risk drowning in work? Or just stick with my planned course? </p>
<p>Any advice is greatly appreciated.</p>
