Senior Year- Take online classes or break

Applying to College
1

<p>Please help me decide my schedule.</p>

<p>How will colleges look at it?</p>

<p>My school only offers 7 AP classes. I'm not going to take AP physics, but I took AP Biology.</p>

<p>My current senior year schedule:</p>

<p>1st per(every other day): AP Literature
1st per(every other day): AP US Government
2nd per: AP Calculus BC, but transcript will say AB. Teacher will help me study the BC.
3rd per: Marching Band-Fall/ Wind Ensemble-Spring</p>

<p>Online Classes:</p>

<p>Fren 2B through CSUS
AP Marcoeconomics through a Univ. of MO(I think it's through UMO)
AP European History through National University Virtual High School(I'm not sure if I want to take this)</p>

<p>Honor Physics:
through Virginia Virtual School, but it costs $450</p>

<p>Or should I take AP Physics B online or AP Chem online?</p>

<p>My school offers AP Phys B, but no one gets an A in it and I heard that everybody in the class is confused.
I'm not planning to major in physics.</p>

<p>Should I also take AP Statistics?</p>

<p>My school only offers 4 periods. Because AP Art History was canceled, I don't have a 4th period.</p>

<p>Should I take AP European History, or would AP Lit, AP Gov, AP Cal, Fren 2B, and online honors physics be too much?</p>

<p>This will be my 4th year in band, so I'm staying in it. I want to stay in it and it also shows dedication to colleges.</p>

<p>'only offers 7'? My school offers only 5</p>

<p>It's kinda hard to answer your question mainly because you seem to be too concerned with how colleges look at your schedule instead of asking yourself the question of what YOU want to take. I took 4 AP classes, one 4th year Latin class, one writing-intensive course my senior year and thought that was stressful so you might want to consider how you might balance your activities/social life with all those APs. Plus, it's your senior year and you'll be working on applications so it's good to have time to enjoy your year and spend some time polishing your application essays without the burden of AP classes. But to answer your questions anyway, I don't think you should take AP European History because, from your post, you're not sure if you want to take it. You should stick with honors physics instead of AP Physics B definitely if you have no prior physics knowledge. Good choice sticking with band.</p>

<p>I want to take AP Cal BC because I'm good with math. I don't mind learning the BC material.</p>

<p>I don't mind lit because I like to read.</p>

<p>I'm interested in Government and Politics, so I'm taking Gov.</p>

<p>I'm not going to take AP Physics, but I will take Honors Phys. I'll try to find another virtual school that offers it at a cheaper price.</p>

<p>I'll continuce French through Fren 2B because I don't mind learning French. I might study abroad during College and go to France.</p>

<p>I also want to take AP Macro because I'm interested in learning about the stock market. I'm thinking about AP Statistics still.</p>

<p>I don't have a 4th period next year, so I should handle my schedule next year.</p>

<p>Thanks for the advice.</p>

<p>I know it's my Senior year, so I don't have a 4th period. Instead, I'll use that time to do my homework for my classes or volunteer.</p>

<p>This year I took AP Bio, which wasn't a class that I wanted to take.</p>

<p>It was ok. I had to take it because AP Art History was canceled last year, like this year.</p>

<p>I wanted to learn AP Art because I took AP Music Theory, which is also about the arts.</p>
