Taking An AP: Will it make a difference?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>I do realize I am re-posting this. Only because I am still undecided and have only 3 days to decide [I am in summer school [Honors Precalc] and will go to my counselor after].</p>

<p>I'm a senior and this is my schedule for next year:
AP Calculus
AP Physics
AP Extended Physics
AP Microeconomics
Honors World Literature
Honors Horticulture
Honors Italian</p>

<p>I am willing to switch Italian for AP Government if its worth it.
AP Government is a easy class but its very time consuming [lots of BS work].</p>

<p>Since my school just changed our grading scale for 95 [A] to 90 [A] I know I could get an A. I've never received less than 90% in any given class in high school.</p>

<p>Will it make a difference?</p>

<p>I want to have more of a life, get a job possibly, do more stuff for me before college like loose weight. But if it could make a difference, I'm willing to sacrifice some of it.</p>

<p>This could add 1-2 hours of work daily. Its not like AP Calculus and AP Physics where although they are hard, have little homework.</p>

<p>I repeat: I NEED a life this year which includes friends, shopping, and tons of working out [can't be fat in college(;].</p>

<p>I do however enjoy the subject.</p>

<p>My stats aren't great for the colleges I'm applying to.</p>

<p>Depends. Do YOU want to take AP gov or Italian?</p>

<p>I’d take AP Gov. As for your weight, if you watch what you eat then you’ll be able to lose weight. It’s a lot easier to eat very well/exercise little than it is to exercise well/eat horribly because it’s much harder to drop pounds with the latter. Or you can get an old treadmill and multitask by doing homework online while walking on it :P</p>

<p>I DOOOOOO. I love Gov, but the work is so ew… And thanks, I think I’ll make losing weight a priority. ^ Recently stopped eating all red meat.</p>
