<p>next year, my junior year, i will be taking:
Honors English III
ACT/SAT Test Preparation
Honors PreCalculus
Honors Anatomy and Physiology
AP Biology
AP European History
Spanish II</p>
<p>I was wondering what other people will be taking and if anyone thinks that's too much considering I don't really have any electives (except ACT/SAT prep which just gives a lot of homework). I don't think i will have any time for a social life because i am also doing Speech and Debate and Mock Trial. </p>
<p>This year, my Junior year, I have taken:
Pre-Calc Accelerated (our school has no Honors)
AP Stat
AP Chem
AP English Lang
AP American
Japanese 1
Spanish 4 (only native speakers are put into accelerated classes)
Band (my long-term elective)
Phys. Ed. (mandatory)
This is more or less the most demanding schedule one could take, and I'm doing fine. My average this year is bringing up my overall GPA. I also take part in 6 clubs, 3 of which I dedicate myself greatly to.</p>
<p>Yet, I'm able to juggle a social life, or something like it. Most of my friends and I have the same clubs. If you leanr to manage time with homework and clubs, you can make time for anything.</p>
<p>Next yr i MIGHT be taking:
IB Bio HL 1
IB History of the Americas
AP/IB Spanish 5
AP English
IB Math SL
Theory of Knowledge
and the big whopper- AP Chemistry. I am still deciding on taking it next yr, even though it means i will have NO elective like IB Art or Photo, like my friends are taking</p>
<p>I dont think your sched is too much - its actually pretty doable</p>
<p>Ask the others at your school, colleges compare your schedule to theirs anyway. (They have a box for the guidance counselor to check if your schedule's "most demanding", "very demanding", "somewhat demanding", or "not very demanding")</p>
<p>Yes, and just because somebody has a harder schedule "in print" doesn't necessarily mean it's harder in reality. The rigor and difficulties of the same courses varies widely from school to school.</p>
<p>I agree with Tako... varies from school to school.</p>
<p>You can probably handle two APs and the rest Honors... but again, depends on your school. That would be a bit hard to pull at my school just because Honors precalc is killer if you aren't good at math and our English III Honors is ALL writing, sometimes as many as three essays a week.</p>
<p>But hey- in my opinion, if you want it badly enough, you'll find a way to make it work.</p>
