<p>So I literally have no idea what to take my senior year. So far I know I'll take</p>
<p>AP English Lit
AP Econ (Macro)
AP Physics</p>
<p>and um, that's about all I know for sure. Any suggestions?</p>
<p>Some options I'm leaning toward are Criminology, Anatomy and Phys., French and Mandarin.</p>
<p>What year of french?</p>
<p>It’d be French 1. I finished my first language, looking for something new.</p>
<p>Take all the APs you can, because otherwise you’ll get really boredddd.
I’ve got AP Macroecon, AP US gov, AP Latin Lit, AP Calculus, AP Euro, AP Lit (and orchestra, lololol) and that’s only really “too much” because of the awesome amounts of reading for my euro class… ewhalm.</p>
<p>OH and it would be amazing for you to take Mandarin, so totally do that.</p>
<p>I think that taking a new language your senior year is a risk, so that looks good to colleges. It looks like you are not taking the easy way just because you are leaving. And I agree, take a ton of APs.</p>
<p>Thanks guys. Between my sophomore and junior years, I already knocked off 7, so I’m just taking what’s left that my school offers.</p>
<p>Good point about the Mandarin though. It’s really something different that I guess not many schools offer.</p>
<p>To INVENIAMVIAM:
Doesn’t that many AP classes seem a little over the top? Sure it’s great to build your resume but it seems like the quality of grades in those classes would have to drop due to the sheer quantity. Doesn’t 1 or 2 per semester seem adequate?</p>
<p>To the threadstarter:
Get involved in extracurriculars! Come on man you can only be a senior in high school once! Do choir or football or baseball or everything you can… enjoy it. Really if you are aiming for scholarships the amount of AP really means little in comparison to income, GPA, and test scores (ACT,SAT). I believe (in my humble opinion) that in later life you will remember hanging out in the locker rooms or eating lunch with your fellow baritones a whole lot more than cramming in a load of AP. Don’t misunderstand though, AP seems to be critical and I have had fun in those classes too, just don’t overdo it and be sure to enjoy your life before you enter into the real world.</p>
<p>As a senior, don’t overload with APs. Trust me, you’ll regret it when you have to balance applications with social life with scholarships with school work.</p>
