<p>Some of the AP classes I want to take later in HS: AP Calc BC, AP Physics C, AP Computer Science</p>
<p>GPA: 3.71(Freshman) I am now a sophomore</p>
<p>Comparisons:</p>
<p>Christian Private High School</p>
<p>Pros: familiar w/ people<br>
Cons: 3-5 clubs, only offers AP Calc AB and AP Physics B, and no computer science classes</p>
<p>List of classes I took Freshman year: Geometry
Conceptual Physics(only option)
Bible
Ancient World History(only option)

<p>Public HS (The school I am going to right now for my Soph. year that just started today(8/25/09)</p>
<p>Pros: Lots of clubs(main ones Im interested in: math and science club), offers AP Calc BC, AP Physics C(mechanics only), Computer Programming, AP Euro Hist.

<p>Public HS #2 <- I applied for an interdistrict transfer, but it was declined because the school is full. I am hoping to go to this school for my junior and senior year.</p>
<p>Pros: offers AP Calc BC, AP Physics C(both mechanics and electricity & mag.), AP Computer Science, math and science clubs, the school has won various national and regional competitions or were finalists in math, science, robotics, and debate competitions; known for academic exellence</p>
<p>Cons: none that I am aware of</p>
<p>Last school year, I completed my freshman year at a private Christian High School.
This year, for my sophomore year
I am attending the first public high school that I mentioned. If I am successful to get an interdistrict transfer, I would be attending public high school #2 for my junior and senior year.</p>
<p>My question is: Would the switching affect my chances of getting into a college of my choice, because I personally think that my reasons arent good enough for switching (specifically UC Berkeley, MIT, Cal Tech, or any other good engineering/business schools)?</p>
