Too much as a Senior?

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>So I've been pretty sure about this schedule until now. I want to challenge myself and I enjoy these classes but I'm not sure if it's too difficult</p>

<p>Current Classes and Grades:
IB English HL 1 (B)
IB History HL 1 (C)
IB French 5 HL (B)
Honors Precalc (A)
AP Chem (A)
IB Film (Sem. 1 DROPPED) (B)
AP Microeconomics (Sem. 2) (No grade yet)</p>

<p>Senior:
IB English HL 2
IB History HL 2
IB French 6 HL
AP Calc BC
AP Physics C
AP Stat
AP Psych</p>

<p>I have to take the 3 IB classes because they're 2 year classes that I've started Junior year. IB English isn't too bad- pretty easy. IB French is a a lot harder than last year but I can still get a B easily. And IB History is death- without the advantages. IB History is my most stressful class right now and my first C ever. So I'm worried that my other AP's will make IB History even more unbearable. I'm definitely taking AP Calc because math is really easy for me and my all my math teachers have recommended me for BC. AP Physics is also pretty much a given because I want to major in Science and I took Honors last year as a Sophomore and only got a B, but still did pretty well and theres no other science for me to take besides IB/APES or AP Bio. AP Stat and Psych are not given but I'm really interested in them and theres nothing else I really want to take.
I'm just nervous it'll be too much with College Apps. So any suggestions?</p>

<p>I’d say it’s too much if you’ve already dropped a course this year. It seems like you’re already challenging yourself, since you’re not getting straight As. That’s good! But if you load up your schedule too much you risk burning out, and you don’t want to do that before you’ve even gotten to college. Besides that, if you take a few less classes than you’re currently planning to take and find it too easy, you can always study other subjects on your own, take up a hobby, or do some volunteer work. Your life shouldn’t be 100% school, and I get the feeling that if you took that schedule, you wouldn’t have time to do anything else, especially if you have a job.</p>

<p>^i dropped film partly cause it took a ton of time especially away from History, but also cause I hated it and I found it pointless. I want to major in Chemistry/Science. The problem is I don’t know what to take instead of Stat and/or Psych also.</p>

<p>Could you take some science courses at a local college with dual enrollment? Mine offers microbiology, organic chemistry, anatomy and physiology, botany, biotechnology, zoology, geology, oceanography, and astronomy classes. I’m sure you could find some courses that interest you.</p>
