I am going to be a senior next year and am trying to figure out my schedule. I am looking to apply to college for a film degree. My counselor told me she thinks I should take AP Psychology, but I am very interested in taking a second year of photography. Here is my schedule throughout high school:
9th Grade
Honors Bio
Geometry
Honors English I
Spanish II
Health/College Prep
Dance Team

10th Grade
Chemistry
Algebra II
Honors English II
Spanish III
AP European History
Dance Team

11th Grade
Honors Anatomy
Honors Precalculus
AP Languge and Comp
Photography
AP US
Dance Team

12th Grade
AP PSYCH OR ADVANCED PHOTO
AP Stats
IB Lit
AP Government
Dance Team

Please let me know what you think I should do as I am very torn about this decision. I do not know if the school will want to see that I am working on my camera skills for filmmaking or that I am pushing myself academically. Do I need to take Science senior year for a film degree? Thanks!

Ap psych is an AP lite and it won’t differ significantly in terms of admissions. Especially if you apply for a film major, where photography makes more sense. :slight_smile:
What is more problematic is that you’re taking one less class senior year. Find a class.

I say do what you WANT to do but coming from a current AP Psychology student it’s a really fun and interesting class. I’m currently a sophomore taking the class and the material covered is easy but it depends on the teacher. If the teacher at your school who teaches the class is known to be a bad teacher then buy the Barron’s review book - it’s super helpful
