Suggestion for Junior year schedule?

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>So my AP schedule for junior year was originally suppose to be: </p>

<p>AP CHEM
AP USH
CALC AB</p>

<p>but then scheduling took me out of AP CHEM due to conflicts with my other classes. With that somewhat demanding class out of the way, I changed my regular english 3 to APLANG. </p>

<p>Since I'm planning to take APCHEM senior year, do you guys think it would be a good idea to switch regular chem for AP STATS? I am also considering self studying APES.
I don't think taking chem would be very useful because APCHEM is manageable w/o the pre-req class</p>

<p>I have EC (Club president, outside leadership programs, weekend community service) and spring season sports so it will be busy towards AP Testing. (Sidenote: I'm a health freak so I workout at the gym for at least an hour everyday ^__^)</p>

<p>I took AP Bio and WHAP Sophomore year and didn't manage my time too well but managed a 4.0 </p>

<p>Any advice will be appreciated!</p>

<p>How is AP Chem manageable without the pre req? Do a lot of kids do it and come out with As , is it dumbed down? or are you just being cocky.</p>

<p>& AP Stats would be a good substitute for that as I’ve heard its not demanding,</p>

<p>AP Stats is an easy test for the most part (got a 5) so I would take that one before you’re out of school!</p>

<p>@Weeknd Yes, matter of fact most kids at my school take AP Chem junior year without taking a previous Chem class and score fairly well. It’s easier than AP Bio which is the most challenging class at my high school.</p>

<p>I have a similar problem as you guys are discussing.</p>

<p>I’m a rising junior and am particularly interested in colleges such as Stanford, Amherst and Yale. However, I’ve been having some issues figuring out my junior year schedule, so it’d be super helpful if you gave me your input.</p>

<p>My schedule as of now looks like this:</p>

<p>Journalism
AP English & Composition
Spanish 4
Precalculus/Trig Regular
AP US History
AP Environmental Science</p>

<p>My school does not offer very many AP courses, so my only other alternative AP science would be AP physics, which I’m planning on saving for my senior year. However, my main question arises out of the fact that I’m taking regular math. I originally planned to take honors precalculus/calculus A, but it did not fit into my schedule with Spanish. Should I continue Spanish or take the honors math? Will taking one regular math course if I’m not planning on pursuing a major related to math hurt my chances at being accepted into an Ivy league school?? I plan to take AP Calculus senior year.</p>

<p>I guess my overall question would be, is my schedule rigorous enough for junior year? Please give me some insight. Thank you.</p>
