Should I take all (or almost all) regular classes instead? Need at least a 3.5!

I get what you’re saying. Some are a little egotistical at my school as well.</p>

<p>You hit it on the dot. Based on your best classes this year, which are your 94’s and 98’s , choose accordingly. Personally, I would choose 1-2 AP’s in your best subject(s) for your situation. I really don’t think (and no offense) that you would be ready for 5. Take 3 Honors, and for your weak subject, take a regular class.</p>

<p>Another important question regards the weighting scale at your school. How many grade points does a regular/IB/AP/Honors class count for? This is very important as it will greatly influence your overall GPA.</p>

<p>Is the 3.5 GPA for Bright Futures weighted or unweighted?

<p>Yeah, it gets annoying. </p>

<p>My 98’s in Health Science and my 94s are in Geometry and World History. I don’t think I’d like APUSH as it seems to focus more on breadth over depth. I’m a perfectionist too so I’d worry about not completing much. With regular World History this year, I get more time to research things and write in-depth essay answers. Do you think 3 would be okay if two of those APs are electives? I might take dual enrollment English if my GPA’s high enough. Yeah, especially after my first two years of high school. I feel like I should focus on recovering my GPA over anything else.</p>

<p>I want to take regular Chemistry as it’d be unpleasant being surrounded by lots of sophomores in Chemistry Honors if I’m a junior. Also, I need an A in it to get a C for grade recovery. I want to be on safe side. I’ve also heard it’s best to learn Chemistry at a slower pace and I usually do better when I understand everything involved. </p>

<p>A point is added for IB/AP/Honors classes. </p>

<p>It’s weighted but I’d like a 3.5 uw. </p>

<p>What do you think of this schedule?</p>

<p>Regular Pre-calculus
Regular US History
Regular Chemistry
AP English Language
AP Psychology
