<p>Does this schedule seem too intense or is it pretty standard? I'm currently a second year. By the end of spring the only lower div I need to complete will be bio 1b (I tried to get into bio1b this semester, but it was full so then I signed up for bio1a, bought the books, but ended up dropping, so now I have all the bio1a stuff).</p>

<p>Bio1a/al
Stat 20
Phys8b
Music 26ac
(total 17 units)</p>

<p>Opinions/advice/suggestions?</p>

<p>I heard that bio1a/al is hell but I've already outlined half of the text for ap bio (it's no substitute but that work should be worth something right?). I'm somewhat worried about stats because I don't have much background in it. As for physics I'm doing ok in 8a so I figured 8b shouldn't be too awful if I don't slack off. And I've heard AC classes can be pretty writing intensive.</p>

<p>You should be fine. It looks like you’re on top of things. I’m surprised Bio 1B filled up before Bio 1A though.</p>

<p>How about Chem 1A (spring is easier), Bio 1B, and Math 16A (I’ve taken Calc BC so far). And an elective.</p>

<p>I would rethink the AC class unless you want a really busy semester. There is no reason to take 17 units really as an IB major unless you’re behind schedule (which you’re not) or plan on graduating early/studying abroad.</p>

<p>Music 26AC is notoriously easy. Don’t worry about that.
8B is pretty much nothing like 8A. That may be for better or worse.
This looks like a very good balanced schedule.</p>
