Is this a rigorous enough schedule for senior year?

Speech Communications
AP Macro
AP Micro
AP Human Geography
AP Stat
College Level Marketing

(Do I need calculus?)

Thanks so much in advance.

If you are applying to Pratt you most definitely need Calculus.

Economics is also heavy with Calc based concepts

It’s hard to say without knowing what courses your school offers. What AP courses are available to you? Having said that, it honestly is probably in the “light” side compared to many applicants. No AP science (bio/chem/physics) and AP Human Geography is kinda weak (I took that sophomore year…). AP Calc shows more than AP Stat. And finally, how are you not taking English?! I thought schools require that every year.

@bluedog English is the speech communication course. I’ve taken AP World, AP biology, AP US, and College level accounting.

Oh, ok, is AP English not offered? I assume AP Micro/Macro is ONE course (AP Econ), with one semester focused on each. So, senior year you’re taking 3 APs + “college level marketing” (is this at a university?). Having already taken AP Bio, two AP histories as well as college-level math is good certainly. I don’t think your curriculum will set off any (negative) red flags, but it probably won’t set you apart on the high set either. Should probably be okay – I don’t think your senior year schedule is what’s going to get you rejected.

I changed it up alittle bit.

Calc AB
Speech communications
AP human geo
AP macro
Marine sciences
College marketing
Health (required)

My school only offers AP macro; however, I still plan on taking the Micro AP. College marketing is offered at my school and is the same curriculum as our local university.
