<p>I'm feeling very conflicted over my senior class schedule. </p>
<p>Last year, when choosing courses, I was overambitious and requested 6 AP classes, one of which was AP European History. </p>
<p>History is one of my strongest subjects, but I'm concerned that the reading of AP Euro combined with 5 other AP classes, college apps, and the SAT/SAT II tests will result in many sleepless nights. </p>
<p>I guess I know in my heart that something has got to give, but I like the AP Euro teacher and feel like I am sort of letting myself down by not pushing myself to my maximum. </p>
<p>The other AP classes are less interesting to me, but they are not as time consuming and are core classes, keeping my schedule well-rounded. </p>
<p>Should I drop AP Euro and replace it with a relevant but more relaxing non-AP elective?</p>
<p>There’s not another contender to be dropped? Surely one of the other 5 APs has a weaker teacher.
I would vote for keeping this class that you find interesting with a good teacher…that’s a great combination.</p>
<p>I’m fortunate in that all of my teachers are good this year.</p>
<p>My concern with dropping one of the other AP’s is that I would then be missing a core subject. It has been my understanding that having a well-rounded schedule is important. Of course, this is just my perception, perhaps that is not the case.</p>
<p>The other contender for a drop would be AP Biology, however I am somewhat dependent on that class because I am taking the SAT II in Bio.</p>
<p>Aren’t you doubled up in some subject?
Math, English, science, foreign language and the history class…that’s five classes.<br>
What is the extra AP class that I’m not thinking of?</p>
<p>I’m doubled in social science with AP Euro and AP Macroeconomics (a required course).</p>
<p>My inclination right now is to drop AP Statistics and keep AP Euro. </p>
<p>Considering that I hate math and math hates me, it seems like a good choice.</p>
