Senior Year Schedule

<p>Ok guys it might be a little early to do this but i'm currently a junior in HS and i'm already thinking about what my schedule should look like for next year i'm just a little conflicted and I guess this is why i'm posting this but i'm not sure wether or not I should take a science since by the end of this year i'll already have taken 4 sciences (living, earth, physics and chem) but anyways here's my projected schedule: </p>

<p>AP English 12 (language and composition, i think that's what it's called)
AP US Government
AP Psychology
SUPA French (equivalent of AP since my school doesn't offer AP French)
SUPA Presentational Speaking (maybe)
Algebra 2/Trig
Gym (this is a requirement)
Health (this is a requirement, i've never been able to fit it in previous schedules) </p>

<p>If this schedule works to plan then I will have taken 7 AP's, 9 if you count the SUPA classes. My previous APs include AP World, AP Art, APUSH, and AP Literature. </p>

<p>8.5/10</p>

<p>Can you elaborate on that, what should I lose/what should i add</p>

<p>Can’t lose Gym/Health since it’s a requirement, right? </p>

<p>What’s Presentational Speaking? </p>

<p>Can you replace AP Psych with anything else? I mean, you’re taking Gym and Health, so yea…</p>

<p>Are Gym and Health semester classes or year-long classes?</p>

<p>Ask if you can take gym or health online. A lot of schools let you do this, and it would let you take 1-2 more AP’s.</p>

<p>In my school if you are in a sport or band you don’t have to take PE. Are you in a sport or band?
Algebra 2 Senior year why??? You should be taking at the very least Precalc or even Calculus. </p>

<p>“You should be taking at the very least Precalc or even Calculus.”</p>

<p>Yeah I am really questioning this. From the looks of it, his/her high school doesn’t seem to be in an area where algebra I wasn’t offered in Middle school, but even if it wasn’t he should at least be in Pre Calc.</p>

<p>Math isn’t my strong point and i’m looking to go into International Relations which is why there is such a strong social studies presence in my schedule. Gym is a full year every other day course and health is half a year, i’ll see if i can fit in another class. Presentational Speaking is what the name suggests, and a lot of graduated seniors I know have said that the class helps a lot and colleges are impressed when a student takes it, it’s still iffy though. I live in New York so the highest diploma we can get is called a regents diploma and the only other thing i need to obtain it is to take Algebra 2/Trig I also have to take and pass the regents for it. </p>

<p>If my GC sees a problem within the schedule I might consider doing AP photography to show more of a demonstrated interest of art to schools I apply to since i have a knack for art and this year i’ll be finishing a two year AP art class or maybe i’ll consider adding on Spanish level I in my schedule though i’m not sure what help that would be since I would rather focus of French and other languages in college. </p>

<p>Why are you in Algebra II as a senior? At the most that should be a Junior year requirement. </p>

<p>Ok i should explain more… my school offers Int. Algebra which is what i’m in now, I have already taken algebra and geometry so my counselor suggested i take int. this year and then continue on with algebra 2/ trig next year, this may seem strange but it’s perfectly normal in my school as a lot of kids choose this option since our math classes are rigorous and the level after algebra 2/ trig are all AP’s. I’m not planning to attend MIT nor do anything remotely close to math in college. Also this should help bump up my GPA a little since i just ended the quarter with a 98. </p>

<p>Some schools require you to have 4 years of math or you won’t get in. Int. Algebra sounds like Algebra 2 tbh. </p>

<p>@UC6792‌ Int. Algebra isn’t Algebra 2 at all. The level of difficulty, material, depth and breadth is much much much much more different then your average algebra 2 course.</p>

<p>Okay, but precalc would be a better choice to take than Int. Algebra tbh.</p>

<p>you’re fine.</p>

<p>No Int. Algebra is way different, it’s not a repeat course I promise, it’s the algebra component of Algebra 2/trig that’s why it’s suggested to take so i’ll have better foundation for trig next year. thanks for the input everyone!</p>

<p>bump</p>

<p>I took intermediate algebra during my senior year. I’m going to a community college now :slight_smile: oh and I hated the regents had to take the common core last year. Class of 2014 btw</p>
