Senior year schedule

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>So I have to turn in my senior year schedule next year and i've written down AP English, AP Gov/Econ, AP Calc, AP Programming, & Weight training but i'm really thinking of dropping AP English and just take English for business and dropping AP Calc to either honors or just regular Stats. Will not taking those 2 AP's in my senior year hurt my chances at getting into: USC, UCLA, UCI, UCSB, LMU, Occidental, UCB</p>

<p>My resume so far looks like this:
Freshman year first semester:</p>

<p>Weighted GPA 4.1</p>

<p>Second Semester: Weighted GPA 4.0</p>

<p>Sophomore first semester: Weighted GPA 4.56

<p>Sophomore seconds semester: Weighted GPA 4.0</p>

<p>Junior First Semester: Weighted GPA 4.35
Digital Arts
Physics
AP English
AP US
AP Psychology
Honors Pre Calc</p>

<p>Junior Second Semester: Not done, but predicting 4.35-4.5
Same classes as above</p>

<p>Senior schedule:
AP GOV/Econ
AP English
AP Calc
AP Programming
Weight Training</p>

<p>SAT: 1620 (Completely blew it, went unprepared and didn't look twice at an SAT prep book, will def. study all summer for the next one, and I am taking an ACT Saturday).</p>

<p>EC's:</p>

<p>You go to Young Nak church?</p>

<p>No? Hahaha</p>

<p>Well Apparently, the UC’s have a “Guarantee Admission” for the top 9%.</p>

<p>Well yeah I know that, i’m in the top 4% of my class. But i’m pretty sure the guarantees are to sucky UC schools, and i’m just wondering if not taking the subject tests even though they aren’t required, would hurt my chances at the better schools (UCLA/USC/SB)</p>
