Should I take another AP class or no?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

Hello. School is stating next week, so we’re finalizing our schedules.

At the moment, my signed up for 4 AP classes, and am wondering if I should drop one class for another AP?

I am taking:
AP US History
AP English III
AP Biology
AP Statistics
Physics PAP
Pre-Calculus PAP
Advanced Journalism: Yearbook

I was wondering if I should drop yearbook and take AP Psychology instead.

Taking Psych would give me more APs and possibly a GPA boost, but yearbook is an extracurricular activity, where we work a lot but also I can relax. I’m so confused, which would look better for colleges? I understand colleges look for stuff other than hard classes. Yearbook would give me that. But is it worth it?

You should take AP Psych. First of all AP Psych isn’t a hard class. Second, I don’t think you could count yearbook as an EC if it is a class you are taking for a grade.

Perhaps/perhaps not. But if it led to an editorial position, it could be preferable to another AP.

oh really? You can’t count it as EC? Even though it’s a class taken for a grade, we do a lot of work outside of class. I always thought it wa similar to debate. It’s a class, but it’s seen as a club. They compete a lot. (I did debate for freshman and sophomore year.)

if I were just an ordinary member of the staff, would it look bad? I doubt I’d get an editorial position because there were people in yearbook since freshman year, so they’ll most likely get the spots.

if you meet outside of school and its called a club on your schools list then it counts as an EC

I would stick with journalism. You already have 4 APs.
